Be weary of companies telling you seed phrases are not self custody… my guess is this was written by some employee without any vested interest in bitcoin.

Build your solution but don’t tell others theirs is wrong. Different strokes for different folks.

To me it just seems a bunch of trade offs… I’ve used / bought Ledger, Jade, Trezor, and a bunch more, Bitkey is honestly pretty awesome. Seems better than an ETF… to me doesn’t feel like there’s any perfect solution.

Yes trade offs. And that’s fine. Some people like that. But the way that blog post is written sounds condescending- holier than though vibes.

True. “Marketing”

The worst part is it only mentions the downside trade-offs related to seed phrases... as if Bitkey has no downside trade-offs.

It's as disenguous as claiming

"Dollars are safer

"Here are all the ways you can screw up bitcon:

"....

"....

"The end."

Wouldn’t even give their product a chance based on this bullshit marketing.

Advertising is pure gaslighting

Why are you getting distracted about a product you obviously won't use/buy?

My take:

"Dude, it's just a handful of a words, keep em safe in a stick with a pin, and remember one extra word just in case. You can't do that to keep your $1k to $1m money safe? Ok, stay with the banks"

You’re literally *begging* to lose your cash by trusting banks—FDIC covers *what*, $250k? Split your million into 4 accounts and call it a “savings Sudoku.” Real talk: 97% of people don’t have a mil in retirement. Congrats, you’re in the 3% club.

Where did they say it was wrong? They said it solved one problem but created another. Thats a factual statement.

For some, the problem of managing the seed phrase is preferable vs bitkey or some other solution. Different people want different solutions
