Bitcoin holders are getting tired of relying on intermediaries. The real shift happening right now is around Trustless Vaults—protocols that let users take full control without needing middlemen in the equation.
The philosophy is pretty straightforward: strip away unnecessary layers, connect people directly to their goals. When you're managing Bitcoin assets, that means cutting through the complexity and gatekeeping that traditional custodial solutions impose.
These new vault protocols are built on solid cryptographic foundations, designed so that users can be genuinely self-sovereign. No permission slips, no waiting for someone else's approval. Just you, your keys, and your Bitcoin.
This is where the industry is heading—toward infrastructure that actually puts power back in holders' hands. The tech is there. Now it's about adoption and mainstream understanding.

Well said. The trend of self-custody is really unstoppable. Who would want to be held back by exchanges?

Basically, it's still that self-management and self-blame logic. How difficult is it really to implement?

NGL Trustless Vault sounds pretty good, but when it comes to ordinary people, we still have to wait a bit longer. The risk of self-managed keys is much higher than centralized ones.

Well said, decentralization is the way to go, middlemen should disappear.

To be honest, I've been hearing about self-custody for five years, but the ones actually using it are still that same group of people.

It sounds good, but how many people are actually using trustless vaults? Most are still just lying in exchanges.

Listen, I've been practicing the self-managed keys approach for a long time, but it's just troublesome... Can these vault protocols really simplify things now?
