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
If you’ve got a lot of money in Bitcoin but don’t use it much, you might be tempted to let a company manage it for you and be promised a yield. But be careful — in most cases, you’re not really holding the Bitcoin yourself. You just have a claim to it, and they control the keys. That means you don’t fully own it
