21sats on Nostr: The recent AWS outage that took down Coinbase, Robinhood, and major crypto platforms ...
The recent AWS outage that took down Coinbase, Robinhood, and major crypto platforms for 15+ hours serves as a stark reminder: your Bitcoin inheritance plan is only as strong as its weakest link. What if it was longer?
Most collaborative custody and full custody inheritance providers store your private keys (or key shares) on cloud infrastructure like AWS. When those services go down, accessing your inheritance plan becomes impossible—possibly when families need it most.
Their mobile apps are equally vulnerable, relying on the same centralized cloud services that failed during the outage. While Bitcoin’s network kept producing blocks flawlessly, users were locked out of their funds through these platforms.
21sats takes a different approach: Your keys remain encrypted and offline at all times. No cloud dependencies. No single points of failure. No waiting for AWS to restore service when your family needs access to your Bitcoin.
The irony? Bitcoin was designed to eliminate these exact vulnerabilities, yet most inheritance solutions reintroduce them through cloud dependency.
