Storing bitcoin securely is a significant challenge for most people. One of the worst-case scenarios is buying bitcoin, watching its value grow, and then losing it due to user error. Many aspects of the traditional financial system—such as wiring funds, choosing a bank, writing checks, or using services like Zelle—are already intimidating for the average person. The concept of self-custody feels even more foreign, leading many to avoid it altogether. I believe this is an area that will see major improvements over time, ultimately becoming far more accessible and user-friendly.
