I’ve only been coding for like a month now, but so far, each challenge seems like you stare at the problem for hours with no progress, then suddenly have a mental breakthrough and solve it in 5 minutes.

Are you saying devs should write code that compensates themselves based on how many lines of code they wrote?
Do you get how bloated that codebase would get, and the perverse incentives it creates?

You run into a free rider problem, though.
Users benefit from the project, whether they donate to it or not. So everyone thinks, “Why should I contribute? Someone else probably will.”
That’s how you end up with systemically underfunded FOSS projects.
Which is why finding a monetization strategy (like fees for coinjoin coordination, or sales of hardware) can be very useful.

Relying on charity isn’t as sustainable as a business, though. Devs need to pay their bills.

This presentation by one of the guys at Bitbox claims air-gapping offers little practical benefit:
https://youtu.be/UdNxecnAcF8
As far as firmware updates goes, though, it gives me incredible peace of mind doing it via SD compared to USB, since even if the firmware update is malicious, it can’t extract your seed remotely if it’s air-gapped.

Cause it’s plugged into your computer via USB. A malicious Trezor Suite update could potentially swipe your seed.

The US/IRS is going to pull a Grayscale.
Specifically, they’re going to hike capital gains tax rates (much like Grayscale’s exorbitant ETF fees), and milk the bitcoiners as long as they can, until we get fed up and leave for friendlier jurisdictions.
The difference is that they can make the exit much more expensive and difficult than Grayscale can.
