Although with corporations that aren't very high tech or people who don't understand the tech as well as we do, it is still possible they get compromised, but this is unlikely.
They will hire the tech guys to secure their assets this will not be a problem.
Yeah, but if we had been initially talking about getting an ETF, then the fact that there might be a variety of work-arounds might resolve the bitcoin exposure for some people but NOT really addressing anything close to the extent of a potential market that could be addressed by having a bitcoin ETF as a vehicle through which some folks could get exposure to bitcoin (especially pension funds and even individuals who get exposure through pension funds - such as through 401k-like vehicles or other of those currently status quo type retirement investment vehicles that have to jump through a decent number of regulatory hoops before they can provide exposure to clients using such investment vehicles, and a bitcoin ETF would likely be acceptable within a variety of those kinds of retirement-oriented investment funds.
You will appreciate :
"Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and robbers break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are." –Matthew 6:19-21
In other words, if you cannot figure out a way to accomplish "why not both?" then:
Have fun staying poor.
By the way, I did not realize that the bible had such dumb stuff contained therein, or maybe there are just dumb fucks providing skewed and out of context interpretations.
In the current times, there are going to be all kinds of ways to attempt to both hold value and to prevent it from losing value - and surely there are some folks who do not want the masses of normies to be able to hold/store wealth, and sure there are likely needs to create incentives for people to work, so how much will it cost to get someone to clean your house for you, if you are not able (or willing) to clean it yourself? If everyone is materially rich, then no one is going to want to clean the houses, and everyone will be searching for someone else to clean their house. Maybe bitcoin fixes this by fixing the money, and there are still going to be people willing to clean the houses of other people.. perhaps? perhaps?
A couple of things should cover more than 99% of everyone and every corporation.
1. multi-sig
2. cold storage
Where even for most people as individuals, even just cold storage will do. Have either a hardware wallet, or a completely separate device sign the transactions. I use a tablet that is never connected to the internet. (yeah, I did not disable them physically though or remove the antenna ...)
You believe that 3rd-party custody is just going to go away? like magic?
