I think everyone will have different behavior sec for their funds, with the options now ranging from simply committing a 12 or 24 word seed phrase to memory and buying ETF shares.

There is shamir secret splitting, multisig, MPC, secure enclaves with biometerics, etc...

There will be apps like Fuse wallet: https://www.fusewallet.com/

There will be phones like Saga: https://solanamobile.com/hardware

I think how one handles their wallets will be much like how people make their espressos. Some will just stick k-cup in a machine and hit a button, others will become full-blown coffee enthusiasts that carefully measure their beans, de-static their grinds, and extract for the exact right amount of time.

That's absolutely out of the question for almost any human being, especially given the timeframes involved.

Again, we're talking about a timeframe of decades. How many of these will even still boot up after that amount of time? None of these seem safe to just throw in a bank safe deposit box.

I'm really not a coffee connoisseur by any meaning of the word, but even I know that what comes out of a k-cup machine is brewed coffee, not espresso.

My point is there are thousands of ways to handle your wallets, I don't think there will be one average way.

The ETF is probably the equivalent of this "espresso style" k-cup https://www.keurig.com/Beverages/Dark-Roast/Espresso-Style-C...

No, that's his passphrase
