⚖️ Does self-custody really protect your rights?
The Coldcard case reopened a debate that goes beyond Bitcoin security. While self-custody allows you to control your private keys, it doesn’t guarantee legal protection if the issue comes from the hardware.
After the vulnerability that enabled the theft of thousands of BTC, many users are asking who should be held responsible when the fault lies in the device and not in the Bitcoin protocol. This case could become a precedent for the hardware wallet industry.
Self-custody remains one of the best tools for protecting funds from third parties, but it also requires trusting that the hardware and software have been developed and audited correctly.
💡 The key: having control of your keys is essential, but security also depends on the quality of the tools you use.
