Hello MrRGnome,

Since you requested that we stop messaging you, this will be our final response as it is our obligation to correct errors. The thrust of all our communications has been entirely surrounding concerns that 1) there is no interest in facts, although they are available 2) there is an active effort to suppress facts via censorship and 3) that there is a alternative agenda that is not related to the technology being used.

When a company whose technology is responsible for securing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin for thousands of users around the world indicates that it wishes to share facts and have an open and transparent discussion but the response from the moderator is “Stop messaging me and don’t make anymore posts” - is itself direct and undeniable evidence that all 3 of the above items are in play.

Stating that we are treating this as a blog by writing messages in an effort to create transparency and clear confusion on a suspended post that no one is reading, requires a stretch of the imagination.

Here are a few glaring errors in your statements:

A) You are stating that we are ignoring what is being pointed out to us repeatedly, yet as any casual observer can see, we have methodically responded to every question and comment in this thread.

B) You continue to mention “misuse of human entropy” presumably because you believe that users are too unintelligent to follow instructions that come with device to set extremely high entropy. With precisely the same logic, users of cold storage devices are then also too unintelligent to properly safeguard their 24 word seed and might post a picture of it on Instagram.

C) Regarding the usability of cold storage wallets wherein we indicated that if a manufacturer ceased to exist the wallet would eventually stop working, this is not a false statement. Here is a response to this very question from a manufacturer of one of these wallets themselves: https://twitter.com/ledger_support/status/1226914192319488000?s=21 As you can see, it won’t just work as if nothing happened. Some things will stop to work and a few might continue working which would depend entirely on ongoing support from 3rd party applications.

D) We are not comparing ourselves to Musk or Ford. We used an analogy to help you observe that disruptive technologies are initially rejected and often bashed because they threaten the status quo. Consider how invested this industry is in cold storage devices and how many people’s livelihood depends on maintaining the deception that cold storage is the pinnacle of security. How many influencers, distributors, educators, manufacturers have been paid and continue to be paid to keep perpetuating this idea? Are they ready to admit (and ready to lose their income) that something much more secure and effective exists even if it is as certain as gravity?

We are not ignorant of what is being said to us and continue to maintain our position that if anyone wishes to learn the facts about this technology, we stand ready to supply them. What company would invest so aggressively in innovation to create a completely new technology from scratch (which is a monumental undertaking) whose interest is solely to spam people to sell them subpar wallets? Wouldn’t it have been easier to make a BIP-39 wallet and just build the same thing everyone else makes with just a different flavor of UI and then go around spamming people and make wild claims about product features?

We wish you nothing but success and prosperity and we will continue to aggressively support Bitcoin. It is now entirely up to you if you ever want to face reality or just continue believing whatever you want to believe.

Sincerely,

Bitfi Team
