We've lost probably 3-5 million out of 19.5 million that's been mined. We've proved that we need better solutions. Multi-sig where one of them someone keeps for you like Unchained or Casa are best for the vast majority of people. I agree a screen to verify the transaction would probably be best, but then again I also bet after the first handful of times your average person doesn't check unless it's for a very large amount.

another perspective: they’re easy to lose when they’re not worth very much and there’s a general lack of education. I suspect this becomes less of a problem as the value increases.

This is a good point. As value increases, so does concen about their safety, and as a result so does education.

No reason they couldn’t make a pricier version with a screen for all those concerned? 🤷‍♂️

They could. Maybe a BitKey Pro or something like that. However, they seemed pretty solid on their reasons behind no screen.

Yeah I understand it. Somewhere some trade offs have to be made if you want to reach the masses. Pros and cons to everything.
