Big move: after a decade of self-custody, I just switched to @bitgo for institutional-grade security. Here's why this matters for anyone holding serious stack:
Recent hardware wallet drama (ColdCard, Trezor, SafePal) made me rethink my setup. I've got a kid's future to protect — can't afford to mess around.
Why BitGo:
• Around since 2013, federally regulated, public company
• Insured custody (huge peace of mind)
• Quantum-ready infrastructure (most firms are sleeping on this)
• Onboarding was dead simple, legal team approved
I'm not saying self-custody is dead — do what works for YOU. But for me, institutional security > managing my own keys at this stage. The weight lifted is real.
Shoutout to @mikebelshe for building a solution that respects both Bitcoin ethos AND real-world needs. If you're holding long-term generational wealth, worth looking into options beyond hardware wallets.
