Multisig can reduce reliance on any single device or provider, but adds setup, backup, and recovery complexity that users must manage. Wallet and security-service providers may gain from increased demand, while users bear the costs of migrating and maintaining more complex arrangements. The key implication is greater interest in distributed custody, not a guarantee of improved security for every user. --- ## Sources 1. https://news.bitcoin.com/security/who-pays-and-who-gains-as-ledger-drama-fuels-multisig-adoption/ --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
