How conceptually is Bitkey any different from Ledger Recover? Set aside exact technical implementations and just the high level concept is remarkably similar. Why is Bitkey viewed as inherently superior?
Everyone loves Bitkey and hates ledger recover when the overall trust and security model and assumptions that go with it are actually quite close. I feel like this is a glaring hypocrisy in the community that causes an actual problem because we aren’t analyzing self custody tradeoffs on merit, but instead feelings/vibes. If anything ledger recover is less trusted because you need two companies or governments in two different countries to collude to rug you versus only one company or one country for Bitkey.
