How At Risk Is Your Bitcoin?
Risk isn't binaryβit's a spectrum. Discover where your Bitcoin falls on the risk scale and see how collaborative security provides the optimal balance of security, accessibility, and peace of mind.
βοΈ Understanding Bitcoin Risk
Risk isn't binaryβit's a spectrum. Every Bitcoin custody solution involves trade-offs. Self-custody gives you control but creates single points of failure. Exchanges offer convenience but introduce counterparty risk. Multisig provides redundancy but adds complexity. The question isn't "What's perfect?" but "What's the best set of trade-offs for your situation?"
β οΈ The 3 Biggest Risks to Your Bitcoin
Based on real-world experience, the three most common ways people lose Bitcoin are:
Technical mistakes, lost keys, forgotten passwords, failed backups
Relationship breakdowns, asset disputes, custody battles
Physical coercion, extortion, "give me your Bitcoin or else"
