As someone who has personally helped execute search warrants, keeping a copy of your private key on a bitcoin-related hardware device makes it significantly easier to locate and immediately recognizable. And governments are now actively looking for ways to exploit your HWW.

An ♾️ amount of "paper" bitcoin derivatives is the biggest threat to bitcoin's success. Companies offering non-bitcoin-settled exposure to the price of bitcoin are actively harming the network's potential. Self custody may be our only defense against this attack.
