 Imagine if to use PGP it had become normalized that you had to buy a specialized device from a PGP-focused company… This is basically where we have landed with bitcoin cold storage.

 I always recommend bluewallet on old phones as my first choice, and seedsigner if they want to up their game 

I always tell people that the requirement of a HWW is a complete misconception that took off because it FEELS more secure

 definitely need a merge of securing 2fa/totp, bitcoin phrases, ssh keys, password entry, etc.... Something like bunnie is cooking up: https://betrusted.io

 For ~$600 tho?
That seems really expensive considering it was crowdfunded and back by eu funding for development.
I like that it’s risc-v tho.

 Horrible marketing. Our motto is “Don’t Trust, Verify” and they choose Be Trusted? The hell…

 That’s kinda what a YubiKey is (other PGP smart cards are available)
