Why Self-Custody Matters
Their Keys, Their Coins
Spending small amounts of Bitcoin is simple and gets easier with practice, but holding large amounts securely is more challenging. The difficulty isn’t in making transactions but in ensuring long-term access and protection. Without careful planning, people risk losing access to their Bitcoin by forgetting passwords, misplacing backups, or failing to pass on instructions. Managing your bitcoin requires discipline, redundancy, and an understanding of best security practices to prevent loss over time.
Your Keys, Your Coins
The digital landscape evolves rapidly, with constant updates in industry standards, new security protocols, and hardware firmware enhancements. Even those well-versed in bitcoin management can find themselves outpaced by these changes.
Don't Trust, Verify
Over time, one might neglect essential security practices or fail to keep abreast of the latest best practices, This issue of forgetfulness, combined with an ever-changing technological environment, highlights the necessity for continuous education and the potential integration of sophisticated, user-friendly tools designed to simplify bitcoin self-custody.
Be your own Bank
Self Custody becomes particularly pertinent for high-net-worth individuals or large investors who might not engage with their bitcoin holdings frequently. Many such investors opt to delegate the management of their bitcoin to professional firms. It's imperative to recognize that in most cases, this arrangement involves purchasing a claim on bitcoin rather than direct ownership of the cryptocurrency's private keys.

It's crucial to understand the distinction between self-custody in situations where one might need to liquidate or transfer their bitcoin. For example, when relocating internationally, individuals may receive the dollar equivalent of their bitcoin rather than the bitcoin itself. Cashing out is not a wise choice especially when exploring legal strategies for minimizing tax liabilities.
Cold Storage Only

Understanding and navigating this landscape requires not just initial knowledge but ongoing vigilance and perhaps, the strategic use of both old fashioned, offline human expertise and cutting-edge technology to ensure that one's Bitcoin remains both secure and readily accessible when needed. In the long run, having a trusted advisor available can help save both time and bitcoin.
