Bitcoin Jimmy has been in Bitcoin for many years, but he has sadly not devoted enough time to learn the basics to keep his money safe. He even confirmed that he was using a Coldcard Q coupled with Sparrow Wallet on his desktop. Still, he believed importing his seed into a hot wallet (genuine or not) and destroying his cold storage in the process was a good idea.


If there's any truth to this story, then Jimmy is one of those people who could win an award for the stupidest thing they've ever done in their life. Unfortunately, he is a victim of himself in combination with today's technology, which literally offers everything in the palm of your hand in a few taps of the screen.

Let him now sue Apple for releasing a fake app into its store - because if he was naive to download it, how naive and stupid are those who allowed it to appear there in the first place? How difficult is it to check the official website of a piece of software and assess whether it is a fake or legit app when it comes to those who approve the addition of apps to official stores?
