Right now custody is disordered. It’s one of the last major friction points. It’s not a big deal yet, but years in the future, solving the self-custody problem (non-custodialy) will be important for when Bitcoin reaches its transactional epoch, where it becomes a dominant global currency, on top of being a store of value, and builds its way towards a vertically integrated complete economic system. Hard wallet manufacturing will go through let’s say…some changes. Your Coldcard and Ledger will eventually come inside a syringe. None of that 666 mark of the beast nonsense your in-laws talk about either, because this is decentralized, and demonetizing to any erstwhile hegemons, like Big Brothers. Talk about flipping the script. I see [invisible] injectables like this becoming more commonplace than tattoos and ear piercings. There just haven’t been any use cases for it to flower, but bitcoin will deliver a compelling one, because besides bitcoin itself being decentralized, which becomes more robust and hardened the larger it grows, decentralization at-large will naturally build around a global stateless money. Centralized platforms looking to exploit injectables (like Facebook hiding behind the name Meta) will be at an extreme disadvantage (regulation, the nature of trust, competing platforms which use distributed systems, bitcoin establishing itself as money, etcetera). If a reputable company like CoinKite (of Coldcard fame) or Trezor (of Model T fame) tomorrow authored a tweet promoting an injectable bitcoin product, they’d get a queue of buyers that looked like a pilgrimage to Mecca. I’d put one for spending in my right hand, one for saving in my left, then a clone of both in my ass. submitted by /u/Mallardshead |
