   Look at this "crypto wallet" I found on Amazon: https://a.co/d/fFwevRC
   - it's a QR code to your deposit address on a stainless steel card (actually kind of a cool concept)
   - it's $99... which is really overpriced for an electroplated stainless steel card
   - and the worst part? The private/public key was printed on it by the factory. The factory knows your fucking private key. That should be an alarm bell right there.
   
   They sell another one, which says "0.1 BTC" on it (https://a.co/d/6T5Kym7), it costs $599, but it's the same exact kind of thing. Now, based on the branding and the price, you'd think it means "oh, there's 0.1 BTC on here," right? No, it literally says no Bitcoin is preloaded on the card. It's just a $600 stainless steel card with a QR code printed on that the factory can possibly withdraw from you at any time.
