The last 48 hours have been some of the hardest I've experienced in Bitcoin.
I've been putting out fires nonstop: helping people migrate funds in a panic, talking them through impossible situations, and breaking every protocol I'd normally insist on because there simply wasn't another option.
I've had people so overwhelmed they couldn't even type their own seed phrases. They split them across Signal, Telegram, and email in multiple parts just to get through the migration. Together we moved hundreds of bitcoin under immense pressure.
And we're nowhere near done.
There are still hundreds of people with Coldcards in single-sig setups. We still don't know how far this entropy issue extends on later models. Even confidence in older hardware has been shaken, and many people are migrating out of caution.
So I'm asking for one thing:
If you're knowledgeable and you have a few hours to spare, please help.
Help people verify their setup. Help them migrate safely. Help answer questions. Help those who have just lost life-changing amounts of bitcoin. Sometimes they don't need technical advice first—they need someone to calmly guide them through the next hour.
I've seen wallets containing double-digit BTC balances drained. It's heartbreaking, and I sincerely hope those responsible are identified and brought to justice.
What disgusts me is seeing people use this as an opportunity to score points, dunk on others for using or promoting Coldcard in the past, or somehow drag the conversation back into the endless Knots vs. Core and spam-filter debates.
This isn't the time.
People are hurting. Some have lost years sometimes decades of savings.
Be the person who helps, not the person who farms engagement.
Please help.
