Just spoke with a guy at work who moved all his Bitcoin from holding it at home on a ledger to having it in an ETF. He glassed over and looked at me strangely when I told him he is better to hold it himself, but he was scared of having "that much money sitting in a draw at home".

What's a good tutorial on bulletproof ways to secure your keys?

There is no bulletproof way to secure anything. Everything has tradeoff, levels of risk, and dependent on one’s situation and competencies.

Yes, but there needs to be somewhere to point people to to set up a bit more piece of mind than a ledger in their draw without it seeming overwhelming.

bitkey has been getting a lot of crap lately but I think it might be the best tool for taking personal responsibility for most people

People like him aren’t meant to hodl.

I was surprised when he told me he used to, but stopped. If people don't hold their keys it increases the chances of a 6102 and fractional reserve, which ultimately hurt all bitcoiners. We need to do better at promoting self custody options that are pretty solid but achievable. I don't know of a resource to point him to. #asknostr

Maybe, I'll try
