The Bitcoiner obsession with complex 2-of-3 multisig setups causes more lost coins through operational confusion than it saves from actual physical theft.
Here is why:
- Managing three separate hardware devices, multiple seed backups, and derivation paths multiplies human error during emergency recoveries.
- A single-sig hardware wallet paired with a robust 25th-word passphrase and a solid metal seed backup delivers superior operational security with far less friction.
For 99% of individual stackers, multisig is unnecessary security theater that increases technical debt.
