I see that you don’t like the idea of local storage in case you need to use your coins on the road, but you do know that local storage doesn’t mean your coins are stored on your device, right? It just means your private keys are stored on your device. You should just create a wallet on one device and then copy the private keys to all of your devices.
If you don’t own your private keys, you don’t own your coins. Use services only to buy/sell, not for storage
Yes, but then all of my devices, and only my devices, work as keys to large sums of money instead of more traditional means of user authentication. Thank you for your suggestion.
You’re placing a lot of trust in corporations to respect the idea of backups, but you do you I guess
Yeah because I sure as heck don't have a server, a backup server, a backup backup server, and a second backup backup server but a billion dollar business does and more.
Even when Linus tech tips had a setup exactly like that, it failed. The technical requirements for highly secure and reliable long term storage are worth more than the money I have saved in BTC.
Bitcoin is dead, all the scammers do AI now, haven't you read the news?
Bitcoin is just below its alltime high. It's currently worth $109,000 USD per BTC.
