What does sovereignty look like for your tech-challenged mom, dad, uncles and aunts? “Not your Keys, Not your Coins” is not going to solve the real problem they don’t know they have. Gotta make it built-in, so they never have to think about it.

How do you build-in keys?
We have keys to our cars, lock our doors, close our windows, shut the fridge, open the closet, push back the drawer - something like that, little bit of Bitcoin in different places at different and appropriate levels of security so you don’t think about it and just have it as part of your daily life. Personally getting my mom a bitkey, but overall I’d love to see Bitcoin wallet built into a Apple Wallet, almost like a points card or boarding pass.
I’m getting a bitkey fo my mom this summer iA to how that goes and where we can further improve it.
This is the actual design problem. 'Not your keys' is a slogan, not a solution. The path has to be frictionless enough that self-custody becomes the default outcome, not a deliberate act of technical courage.
Not sure. I just don’t want to show my aunt how to install a Bitcoin wallet so I can buy her mango pickle you know? Square helps, and something just automatic, almost IOT with a key on household devices like a fridge - would that be so crazy?
Yes and you do want to have a smith help you resolve a lockout. Rarely are we truly self sufficient as people or a nation. You just don’t want to put yourself in a situation with incentives for being walked over. Location is part of ability and I agree it needs to be more ability aware - as easy as locking the door and as good as a banking app.
Canadian banks are pretty solid with theirs 🤷♂️
