Recognized every January 3, Proof Of Keys Day is an opportunity to reflect on that breakthrough by ensuring that you hold your private keys. In recent years, Bitcoiners have celebrated this day by taking their bitcoin off of exchanges. At Casa, we help Bitcoiners take self custody of their keys, and we’ve found that some education is required to use this power effectively.

That threat is quantum computing. What Is… Source link
