Jameson Lopp warns Bitcoin holders against abandoning self-custody

  • —Lopp: ETFs and custodians shift risk to institutions rather than removing it
  • —He recommends multisig and keys split across locations and suppliers
  • —Trigger: Coldcard exploit of about $90M and compromised Ledger reseller devices
  • —OKX saw record inflows in August after the Coldcard exploit
Why it matters: The custody debate is intensifying after repeated wallet breaches, with some holders potentially shifting to ETFs and away from self-custody.
