The recent Coldcard wallet exploit has led to discussions about the future of self-custody in the crypto space, with some suggesting it's a 'death of self-custody' moment. Others have commented that it might signal the end of Bitcoin maximalism, though the immediate impact is likely on Coldcard's reputation and business.
“So a lot of people were saying, this is the death of self custody. I think Nicardo was out there saying this is the death of Bitcoin maximalism.”
“What, what are we calling the death? Obviously, it's probably the death of Coldcard.”
“Death of apathy.”
