his companies' achievements are exceptional (spacex and tesla specifically)

even worse than players, imagine referees betting on games they officiate...

if you lose your phone and device, you set up a list of trusted contacts that can help you recover your cloud backup with a new hardware
i've been playing around with it, seems cool, even though I'm not still 100% sure what happens if bitkey servers ever go down or the company disappears
great piece of info!
