    +**Coinkite** is the company behind the Coldcard hardware wallet. In the
    +Bugleverse its founder [[characters/nvk|NVK]] first appears suing Santa Claus
    +over allegations that Santa's elves were manufacturing Coldcards for
    +orange-pilled children.[^santa]
    +
    +The company later became a proposed [[memes/big-bitcoin|Big Bitcoin]]
    +acquisition target. [[orgs/podconf|PODCONF]] reported talks to buy Coinkite's
    +"discounted toxic Coldcard assets" and relaunch them as the larger,
    +higher-entropy **BIGCARD®** hardware wallet.[^bigcard]
    +
    +> irl: Coinkite and Coldcard are real. The Santa lawsuit and proposed BIGCARD acquisition are satire.
