I keep thinking about how we’re still so far from perfect self-custody. It seems like the biggest issue holding bitcoin back.

What’s wrong?

Hardware wallets. These things look like bitcoin devices. Having one in your possession makes you a target when you travel and cross borders. To reasonably use a multisig setup, you’re essentially trapped in specific jurisdiction.

Keys. People are legitimately terrified of losing them. And how are you going to get them to your heirs without doxing yourself to a custodian?

Custodians. You lose privacy. Plus you have the risk of getting rugged.
