## Summary

A tweet by @pcaversaccio criticizes Ledger for dropping backwards compatibility, which the author says effectively forces users to buy a new device and re-enter their seed phrase. The author says many users rely on the Ledger Nano S and that new features are being withheld from it for business reasons. The post links to Ledger's developer news page.

Very uncool Ledger - you effectively force anyone to buy and enter the seed into a new device. Ledger Nano S is fucking goated. I understand you're a business but don't play with backwards compatibility guys (many rely on LNS!). You're one of the few trusted parties out there and now you start censoring new features & access because of business rationale. Fucking uncool.
