Hardware wallets are essential.
But they’re not the full answer to self-custody.

Secure signing ≠ safe ownership.

True self-custody has to account for loss, theft, coercion, inheritance — and real life.

Our Product Lead, Jonathan breaks down why hardware alone isn’t enough, and what it takes to solve the whole custody problem 👇

Collaborative multisig has always come with a privacy tradeoff.

Chain Code Delegation removes it.

Cosigners can help with recovery and policy enforcement—without seeing balances or transaction history.

That’s a privacy win for the entire bitcoin ecosystem.

Bitcoin MENA was special.

Real conversations about bitcoin self-custody, privacy, and building for real life.

Grateful for the community — onward to 2026.

Modern tools for modern money. Built for people who want control — without fragility. https://bitkey.world/

Bitcoin didn’t need permission to exist — and it still doesn’t. Happy Birthday to the network that gave people a choice.

2026 resolution: eliminate single points of failure in self-custody.

Bitcoin should be built for real life, not perfect behavior.

What’s your bitcoin resolution?

Acquiring Bitkey shouldn’t require giving up your home address.

With private pickup points, you can get a Bitkey device without linking your identity or location to your purchase.

Less data. Less exposure. More control.

Self-custody doesn’t have to mean “you’re on your own.”

Bitkey is built around:
– Multi-layered security
– Open-source transparency
– 2-of-3 multisig (no single key = no single failure)
– Systems designed for real humans, not just experts

Seed phrases solved one problem and created another.

They made recovery possible — but turned everyday users into security engineers, disaster planners, and inheritance experts.

Over a lifetime, perfect behavior isn’t realistic.
Security systems should be built for that reality.

Collaborative custody shouldn’t come at the cost of privacy.

Chain Code Delegation removes a long-standing tradeoff in multisig wallets: safety or privacy.

With it, cosigners can help with recovery or policy enforcement without seeing your balances or transaction history.

This is already live in Bitkey — and it’s a meaningful privacy upgrade for bitcoin self-custody.

How much bitcoin has been lost due to bitcoin mismanagement?

Lost seeds. Phishing. Fires. Simple mistakes.

That's why we removed the seed from the equation.

One key. One device. No export. Multisig-based recovery.

Security that ignores human behavior isn’t security.

Design matters.
