Self-Custody Won. Education Didn't.

Self-custody is no longer a hard sell — the message landed. But the people now entering the space look nothing like the generation that built it. They discover Bitcoin through influencers, not whitepapers. They treat device setup as the finish line. And most have no real understanding of what it means to be solely responsible for their own assets. Insight from more than 500 direct user consultations, Trezor Expert Shawn Engleman reexamines self-custody not as a technology question, but as an education disconnect — and makes the case that what happens after someone accepts "not your keys, not your coins" is the part the industry still hasn't recognized. The work starts where the user actually is, not where we assume they are.
