Student Of Things suggests it is underconsidered whether Coinkite or Coldcard could be a state operation, pointing to commit access and linking a 2017 article on Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset versus cyber-tulip risk. Held as a dated speculation about vendor trust and state involvement. The claim is the poster's own and is not independently verified here.
