With respect, this gives me serious ick. Black mirror vibes.

It's a hardware wallet that just looks cool. Where's the "black mirror vibes". There's not much nefarious tech here.

The ick and black mirror vibes comes from the technical fact that bitcoin is non fungible and publicly traceable by design making it a surveillance states dream.

Luckily there are superior alt coins that don't have that flaw.

Err, actually the ick factor for me was the crypto bro mentality and the general seedy nature of the state of crypto and those who use it.
