Collab deal of @Kagi and @entre.io (which is a privacy maintaining photo storing and sharing site). It's good to see privacy options becoming more available!

It was fun last week to meet up with @❒ PictureRoom and⁩ another Bitcoiner and talk Bitcoin and everything else… Bitcoin is about connecting with people, building community 🙏. Grateful for the people I have met through Bitcoin!

# Bitcoin Custody Options (not exhaustive list) Here are the main ways to custody bitcoin, from least to most self-sovereign: - **Centralized Exchange** - Shared custody wallets (Coinbase, Kraken). Some like River and Swan* allow buying/holding but not deposits - **Mobile Custody Apps** - Strike, Fold (simplified centralized custody) - for small amounts - ** Mobile Bitcoin or lightning Wallets ** - good for small to medium amounts - **Single-Signature Hardware** - Trezor, ColdCard (the word “wallet” is not right, these are transaction signers) - **Self-Managed Multi-Signature** - 2-of-3 setup using Sparrow and hardware signers - **Assisted (or Collaborative) Multi-Signature** — Companies like Unchained, Casa, or Swan hold 1 key, you control 2-4 keys plus backups - **Multi-party, Multi-Signature** — All keys held by separate companies (like Onramp). Requires identity verification (video) to sign transactions - **Bitcoin ETF** - This is in essence having a third party hold bitcoin for you. Self Custody is better, but this is an option that is better than fiat **Important Considerations** - Security (physical, digital, social engineering) - Access & Recovery - Counterparty Risk - Estate Planning
