Bankless · Is Bitcoin Going According to Plan? Gold, Saylor, Satoshi | Dan Held · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

So self-custody would be how many people manage their own private key, whether that be you have a dedicated hardware wallet, which would be ideal, or other setup, which there's a pretty low percentage.

And it's not too unsurprising.

I mean, I've managed my own private key for 15 years, and honestly, it's pretty stressful.

You know, I don't have a multi-sig setup.

I do single key because, you know, setting up a two out of three has its own issues, but I don't want to go down that rabbit hole.

you know, private key management, I would say liquidity is also a function of price.

Now, how deep is the market?

Like the price could be high, but there's no liquidity.

And, you know, if you look across those KPIs, you know, even with private key management, like self-custody, we've seen that improve, but as a percentage of total hodlers, it's still lower than what I'd want.

You know, from there, it gets a little fuzzier, right?

Like if you measure changes to Bitcoin's core code, you know, that would be a function of, it's really subjective.

Like,

You don't want to be like, oh, we should change it all the time, but certainly it needs to improve.

So that's a really fuzzy one.

I'm not sure how we exactly measure that.

But yeah, that's kind of my initial foray into how would we measure success.

Yeah.

Probably price is the simplest answer just because it reflects everything else combined.

Look, we memes, when I first got into Bitcoin, it was largely associated with drugs and money laundering.

This is early, early days.
