capture held

A widely followed Bitcoin educator describing two days spent helping owners move funds, and revising his own prior recommendation of the device. Community-response material rather than technical evidence, held because the response of trusted intermediaries is part of what happened to owners.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
