Anyone ever actually USED the "Material Bitcoin" physical wallet? Or is it just a cool paperweight?
![]() | Okay, I'll admit it: I mostly bought the Material Bitcoin thing because I think it's objectively cool as hell. There's something about having a physical wallet with a seed phrase embedded in it that just appeals to my inner nerd. It sits on my desk and it's a great conversation starter. I'm also not an idiot (I hope). I've read all the arguments against it. It's not open-source, it's a closed system, and trusting a third party with your seed generation is basically crypto sin #1. I get it. So my plan was to throw like €100 of BTC on it, just for the novelty, and forget about it for a few years. But it got me thinking... has anyone here actually used one as a functional wallet, not just a collectible? · Did you have any issues sending BTC to it · Any weird hiccups or surprises? I'm curious if it's a semi-functional novelty or a complete disaster waiting to happen. Share your experiences (or horror stories)! Thanks! [link] [comments] |
