I have no clue what is going to happen in the self custody landscape in a decade from now. I only believe one thing. When it becomes clear it’s not your keys, not your coins, it’s going to be busy.
Over the past years I’ve worked together with people in the Dutch and Belgian bitcoin communities. We have had discussions about self custody optimizations and compared every bitcoin only device we could get our hands on. We discussed ethics, risk of founders and technical teams, closed source - open source, ease of use and so much more. In the end it’s trade-offs. We’re looking to create uniformity in setups in the long term and many products will be changed to newer and better solutions in the future. Just in case for the above scenario we have a lot of signing devices in stock. As people have heard me say it before: there’s a cost to this endeavor. As being a maximalist you lose not having everything you have in bitcoin. Having bitcoin into bitcoin products you sell makes you lose bitcoin. But in total we win because thousands of people are securing their bitcoin properly because of our proof of work. It’s all about trade-offs. Low time preference FTW.
