Software developer Jameson Lopp believes improving usability and user experience of Bitcoin (BTC) self-custody solutions and making more avenues to acquire BTC will be key in further adoption of the preeminent cryptocurrency.

The co-founder of Casahodl, who’s a prominent ábra in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency space, spoke of the challenges in building self-custody solutions in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph journalist Joseph Hall ahead of Miami Bitcoin Week.

Lopp has a wealth of experience as a developer building a range of services and products in the cryptocurrency space, but has largely been focused on self-custody of digital assets in recent years. Casahodl offers a range BTC self-custody solutions and is set to provide Ethereum support in 2023:

„A legtöbb ember alapértelmezett útja a Bitcoinhoz való bejutáshoz a központosított tőzsdéken keresztül vezet, amelyek általában azért figyelik ügyfeleit, mert erre törvény kötelezi őket.”

Lopp speculated that users typically buy an entry level amount of Bitcoin on an exchange and leave their holdings in the respective wallet. He questioned whether some users are even aware that they can actually manage their own BTC holdings in a self-custodial wallet:

"Még azok is félnek vállalni az ezzel járó felelősséget, akik megértik, hogy az öngondnokság egy dolog."

Nevertheless Lopp added that cryptocurrency custodian service providers like exchanges offer a level of convenience and usability through web applications that is more user-friendly to industry newcomers. There is a relatively low barrier to entry, with the only friction point being AML and KYC requirements that many web users are becoming accustomed to.

"Egyszerre kell egyszerűbbé tennünk az öngondoskodást, és azt, hogy az emberek kényelmesen érezzék magukat, és magabiztosak legyenek abban, hogy elrontják magukat."

Lopp added that creating more on-ramps for people to acquire Bitcoin and driving economic activity with the cryptocurrency. He used decentralized social media platform Nostr as an example of an ecosystem that has integrated Bitcoin layer-2 Lightning protocol as a means to drive the use of BTC:

"Az emberek alapvetően csak egy nyilvános kulcs generálásával és egy villámtárcával regisztrálhatnak ott, és csak elkezdhetik fogadni és küldeni anélkül, hogy AML-re vagy KYC-re lenne szükség."

In countries like the United Kingdom, Bitcoin proponents and a range of industry-leaders established a policy group to foster education, investment, business and job creation for the ecosystem in April 2023.

Meanwhile layer-2 infrastructure providers like Lightning have seen organic growth over the last year, with a steady increase in the amount of BTC locked up in Lightning channels.
