RE: Self-custody - an important first step in web3

in #web3last month

Self-custody with metal plates and stuff is really nice, but I'm having a hard time believing that the average person would ever do anything like this (or even try to understand why they should). Part of the power of Web3 isn't just that you own the keys, it's also that there's a wide variety of storage options that anyone can choose from, other than in Web2 where everything is set by the respective provider. That, to me, is the real power of Web3: having a choice.

Yes! absolutely! You're right, there are a bunch of options available to choose from. In general, though self-custody means keeping your own keys safe. Right now, my method is a notebook and offline USB copies, but I want to move to metal plates because I'm weird and want to have a little more protection.
