[SERIOUS] Does self-custody make cryptocurrency structurally unsuitable for mass adoption? I recently made a satirical post in another subreddit about the amount of security supposedly required to store Bitcoin safely. The satire deliberately exaggerated the point, but I would like to discuss the underlying concern seriously here. As a full disclosure, I am very skeptical of cryptocurrencies in general, but I find it interesting to follow. My concern is not that the Bitcoin protocol itself is easy to hack.With self-custody, possession of the private key effectively determines control of the money. That provides genuine independence from intermediaries, but it also transfers a large collection of responsibilities from financial institutions to individual users.
