Re: Andreas Antonopoulos says to stop using paper wallets, do you agree?
Tin-foil hats on. Andreas Antonopoulos is secretly being sponsored by a hardware wallet manufacturer to go around the world, do his talks about Bitcoin, and to tell newbies that “paper wallets bad, buy hardware wallets good”.
Genuine question: Has he ever recommended a specific brand of hardware wallet? I'm not aware that he has, and if not, then it would be an incredibly ineffective campaign for any specific hardware wallet manufacturer to promote users buying any hardware wallet.It didn't sound like shilling to me, but in the video linked by ChiBitCTy in the OP when Andreas suggested hardware wallets he did mention Cold Card by name. He was commenting that the Cold Card allows one to enter his own entropy when generating a seed. Again, it didn't sound like shilling, more like commenting that a particular hardware wallet offers a fairly unique feature.
He is truly that good in the art of shilling, without shilling. It’s like Joe Rogan, he finds his opportunities in his show to talk about the products he shills without shilling them, making the shill look more authentic, natural, and believable.
