Part 5/13:
The conversation touches on the limitations of do-it-yourself (DIY) crypto security, comparing it to premium services like Unchained Capital or Casa, which provide expert guidance and multi-signature setups. The participants express that while DIY setups might seem empowering, they often lead to avoidable mistakes. Peter admits to being a prime example of this, having carelessly discarded critical keys, leading to a wake-up call about the importance of proper custody protocols.
Phil adds that collaborative custody, where multiple parties hold separate keys, mitigates single points of failure. The consensus is that a multi-sig approach—using services like Casa or Unchained—is essential for long-term security, especially as Bitcoin's price increases and more people come onboard.
