I toy with the idea of getting one. It really does boil down to the trust in Block Inc and its longevity for the third key.

THEY COULD IMPLODE AND YOU CAN STILL MOVE YOUR BITCOIN.
I TESTED THIS PROCESS. WORKS GREAT.
Yes and that’s the key - excuse the pun. And in comparison to others in the field, you basically have nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m who is seems to be very vested in the whole bitcoin thing vs some unknowns selling some similar product.
Well to be fair there are some people very vested in the whole bitcoin thing.
There is for instance nostr:nprofile1qqspjp7f92tdat9gsv94x0lqja8q3lagu6ww28vd2vngl7wd9dkz0tcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9u9pqxgc the original author of the RaspiBolt guide, enabeling plebs to easily run a node at home. He is with nostr:nprofile1qqs9500z3l7sn46sdnls5fnjm0d3lqmrq7707qshes2y7j8pnm4rllcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uzuurf6.
Or there is nostr:nprofile1qqsw3znfr6vdnxrujezjrhlkqqjlvpcqx79ys7gcph9mkjjsy7zsgygpr9mhxue69uhhqatjv9mxjerp9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarjd93kztnrdaksz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ekk7um5wgh8qatz7tvu4p - coldcard. And lots others.
IMHO one value of the whole bitcoin thing is that there are actually people I could trust although I don't have to.
True. I like Bitbox too. I think it might make sense to diversify. A bit in Bitbox, a bit in Bitkey and perhaps a bit in Coldcard. I also personally know quite a few who shun them all and opt for the old school keys on paper.
