Bold is the tree hiding the forest of friends who gave up on self-custody. After a decade, we simply did a poor job of educating people on how to use the chains safely. Stuck between being too dogmatic, pushing for purity of an overly complex system, and too reckless of yolo mode Let me try again; don't just bookmark this do it. Give the link to this tweet to your AI and have it help you: 1) Use @ambire as your main wallet; it handles simulation, complex tx, and is designed to work well with @safe 2) Deploy a Safe now. I don't care if it's a 1/1 linked to your hot wallet for now; it's fine. It's already better this way, and with Ambire, using it is seamless. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THE SAFE UI; Ambire will do it all for you. 3a) Generate a real seed; use pen and paper. You'll get the fancy steel stuff later if you want. 3b) Too lazy for the seed stuff? ok, use a "hotwallet" for your signer generated with a passkeys with an good password manager, you have a Mac? The Passwords app is fine; you're a Revolut client? NordPass is included; you ready to spend a bit? 1Password has a great API, and you'll love it once you're AI-pilled. 5) The signer wallet must hold no funds, doesn't hold gas, doesn't do any txs; it's the key to unlock the door of your safe; it signs, and that's it. You'll learn later that proposing (creating tx), signing, and executing tx are 3 different jobs that don't need to be done by the same wallets. 6a) Now create a second hot wallet, "executooor," and send some gas to it, a few bucks of ETH suffice. Use gas.zip to have some gas on every chain you use. 6b) Don't want to do that? No worries, use the "gas tank" feature on Ambire; it does the same job you can always improve later. That's it for step one, and just that you're safer than Bold and 99% of guys out there. Step 2 is buying a hardware wallet and rotating the safe signer with it for much safer holding Once you're there, you can start considering a 1/2 with a second hw or with an old phone you have in your drawer that you've factory reset and will use only for that. You keep it out of easy reach; it's your insurance if something bad happens to your main signer. Then maybe a 2/3 and the nerdy stuff; you can always do "better," but the foundation of all that is getting your first safe deployed and climbing from there. Do it now; it's not hard, it's worth it.

For me personally moving forward I’m actually going to keep nothing on chain, this incident hasn’t just affected me heavily financially, but mentally too, so if I make any money it’s coming straight off and into fiat. I’m going to become a boomer and DCA into Bitcoin ETFs.

Ledger publicly champions Clear Signing and tells the whole industry to adopt it. Meanwhile they ghost the wallets actually trying to ship it... We’ve implemented clear signing in @ambire and your Ledger device supports it. The blocker is an “originToken” only @Ledger issues, via a partner program we’ve been chasing FOR MONTHS. Ledger is the one blocking it, not us. We’ve done our part. Your move, @Ledger.
