Whoa! I opened Exodus for the first time and felt oddly relieved. The interface was clean, not flashy, but tidy in that “I know where everything is” kind of way. Initially I thought crypto wallets would always be cryptic and ugly, but this proved me wrong — or at least nudged me in a better […]

Whoa! I got into hardware wallets because my instincts said they were the only sane way to hold bitcoin without living in a bank vault. Seriously? Yes — at least at first glance. Initially I thought a hardware wallet was just a fancy USB stick. But then I lost access to a device, had to […]

My instinct said this would be obvious to everyone, but then I noticed a bunch of folks still treating Monero like any other coin. Initially I thought that educating people about wallets […]
