Thats why I find multisig interesting. You dont have to rely on a single private key, so losing or compromising one key doesnt necessarily mean losing your Bitcoin.
It does add some complexity, though.
Would you consider multisig necessary for personal holdings, or is a well-secured single wallet still enough?
Securing assets using multi-signature is great, but I find it complicated because the process requires a strong memory.
Multi-signature is typically used by organizations that require multiple signatures to authorize transactions. If you have a strong memory and are prepared to handle everything, I don't think it's a bad idea to use it to secure your Bitcoin assets.
So far, I haven't needed multi-signature to secure my Bitcoin.
Multi-sig doesn't require a strong memory, it just has a complex set-up and signature requirement for signing transactions that makes it discouraging, but I prefer it for long term storage since I wouldn't be doing much transactions frequently on the wallet address. If you are a regular user that spend Bitcoin every time, a single signature wallet should be able to give you the best security at any time, and if you wish to add a passphrase you can remember, then that's better.
Even with that ColdCard attack, few people managed to stay undrained because they used passphrase, some people got lucky because they moved their funds faster once the news got to them.
The wallet attack happened for almost 2 days before many people were aware, some were lucky because the attacker focus on defualt wallet derivation of first accounts on Coldcard. Some people kept their Bitcoin Acoount 2 and other different accounts without passphrase and later moved their coins before the hackers.
