Unpopular opinion: if your stash has reached millions of dollars, and you are afraid if wrench attacks, it might make sense to put part of it into multi-institution custody with Onramp.

They require multiple video calls to withdraw and one can agree on a forced minimum amount of days in between. They also help with inheritance for the coins you store with them.

Of course they may collude and steal your coins, so I don't recommend sending them all of it.

this is the kind of thing i never wanted to do. it is a reasonable suggestion but i also feel like if i can't manage my stack on my own, what is the point of all this?

It's an insurance policy against loosing 100% of your stack. Talking about that, Anchor Watch provides something similar, but slightly more self-custodial AFAIK. Don't think it's available in Ireland but could be wrong.

I used to think more like you do, but then felt more mortal and fallible. Also the wrench attack possibility started getting to me, glad I'm not in France.

As a pragmatist I think the point is being able to self-custody all of it, and the predetermined issuance schedule.
