 We’re proud to announce that Bitkey has been recognized on TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024 list in Privacy & Security! 🎉 A huge step forward in simplifying bitcoin self-custody for everyone. https://time.com/7094838/block-bitkey/ 
 🔥🙏🏽 
 It would be really cool if it there was expanded interoperability with other open source wallet software. The ability to reproduce the wallet on sparrow in the event of catastrophe/verify transactions with my own node would be amazing. 

I know the product is intentionally designed to obfuscate that complexity, but for more technical users that would be an excellent improvement. 

With that being said, congrats to you and the team on a great product! 
 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 
 That's awesome. Congrats! 
 When will Bitkey offer inheritance planning? 
 Soon! 
 Can't promise anything on timing, but it's one of the top things the team is excited about. Hearing customer validation like this helps inform roadmap, so thank you. 
 Well deserved. Geeking out over on the design and experience of Bitkey is one of my recent past times. You guys did a killer job on this. 
 Thank you!  @Thomas and  @max  among the primary architects that deserve praise. 
 Lab grown meat was also on this list lmfao don’t fall for this bullshit 
 Bitkey <> WEF, confirmed 😆  
 I love mine but I moved only 100 k sats there .. rest still in cash app or coinbase .. the issue is I don't trust myself with money 😭 .. 
 Pretty golden stuff - my 2 year old has one 
 Bro I didn't like bitkey KYC am I tripping ?  
 Not sure what you mean, Bitkey is 100% KYC free 
 Yo my bro what's good I was beta testing it and it wouldn't work BC I wouldnt put my ID on cashapp? 

So you saying we can put non kyc sats on bitkey? Please explain. 

I also wasn't sure about bitcoin BC on the security side its like as the end user why aren't I getting 24 words ? 

I do love but Jack is doing I hope y'all come out with a kick ass miner for the home.  
 Not according to the review video that I watched

 Would be a good promo! 
 2nd hand markets! 
 Wish this meant more. Time isn't the respected publication it used to be.  
 Hi Miles, can users consolidate small UTXOs with Bitkey? 
 Is it only an iPhone version thing? 
 I love my Bitkey! 
 Is it essentially the same multisig setup as Casa? just easier for n00bs? 
 Uhhh Time magazine? Appeal to Mainstream bias 
 test 
 Congrats on this amazing achievement 🧡 
 🤜🤛 
 Congrats to the team, really great work 
 ⚡️🔥🔥 
 You take a look at the rest of the list?… 
 Congrats man! Big time. Great work 🙌🏽🔐 
 Recovery possible with sever key even if I lose everything else? Now I have to trust a third party and their server?

 Social recovery. You’re using the server key and an encrypted copy of your mobile key that is provided to a trusted contact. 
 Got it. And the multisig config is also stored at server side and/or with trusted contact? 
 That’s a great question. @miles are you familiar? 
 Gd 
 Wow.  Congrats !!!  Gotta get one 
 Just to clarify... by "simplifying bitcoin self-custody" you mean keeping 2 out of 3 private keys on servers while preventing users from exporting the third key from the "hardware wallet", effectively locking users in? 
 Don't worry, it also forces you to backup your wallet with google services, so nothing to worry about.
