ColdCard is a transparent, safe and commendable bitcoin hardware wallet. Users don’t need to connect the hardware directly to the Personal computer to make a transaction. However, the main disadvantage (which is also an advantage) is that it ONLY supports bitcoin. Another disadvantage is after 13 failed login attempts, COLDCARD built on “MK3 systems” will “BRICK THEMSELVES”. There is no way to reset or recover the device. However, if a user input the correct PIN within this period of 13 attempts, the counter resets to zero. In this view, users should keep their PIN secure
