This is a bummer, but it's also not completely surprising. They probably need to do this to expand their customer base. You saw the same thing at Trezor.
Note to self: don't make your business expensive to run, because you'll begin making sacrifices to feed it.

Probably a factor, but for now…
Will I be able to store my stablecoins, ERC-20 tokens, or NFTs? - Members will be able to secure only ETH and/or BTC at initial launch. We are taking a thoughtful and strategic approach about what we choose to build, and we are carefully evaluating what aligns with our technology and our privacy and security standards.

Really? 🤥
So many of you have asked for ETH support, and we listened!

I must be psychic. I just made the decision to stop using Casa yesterday, and moved my funds to my hardware wallet.
I feel multisig is just plain unnecessary, and overcomplicates self custody. If you have multiple parties involved, I can see it being useful, but not for single holders.

Idunno, of course it depends on how much you have, but maybe consider just doing your own multisig. Maybe a 2 of 3. Basically every company that can leak customer info will or already has.

For me multisig is about preventing a 5$ wrench attack tbh. I don't want to put myself in the situation where I can reveal my passphrase under threat of physical violence so I distributed the keys geographically.

Use un-memorable passphrase and store elsewhere, pseudo-multisig without extra costs / signing friction

I don't understand why you need such big semi-custodian security for ETH.
If your funds get stolen from metamask, you can just plead vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation to roll back the chain.

Really disappointed. I will probably be moving to a more Bitcoin focused service, or moving away from using multisig altogether. Irritated about the hassle and risk of needing to do this

Sparrow is pretty good for multi-sig

Indeed. I meant specifically when one of the keys is held by a trusted 3rd party as a way to guard against loss. This dramatically reduces my faith in Casa to fulfil this job over the long term

Every Bitcoin-only company eventually becomes a shitcoin company. The only unknowns are when and whether any Bitcoin influencers will apologize for promoting the company (usually none, because influencers in general have no scruples).

ETH support originally announced Aug 21, 2018: https://mobile.twitter.com/CasaHODL/status/1031912399673155592
It was single sig only IIRC, and lasted less than a year: https://mobile.twitter.com/CasaHODL/status/1162725008118091777

Well look at that. Accept money from shitcoiners, win shitcoiner prizes.

I would assume that even with the increase in bitcoin ownership and the drive now for self custody as people see the need for it, its still not enough to keep that business model going.
Pity they couldn't pivot into other bitcoin services, like offering lightning node support like Voltage
But I assume that the VCs that arent stillmark want user growth at all cost

Casa is probably not a good option for real cold storage solutions (sparrow wallet multisig or unchained for support)
There are some pros:
  • shitcoiners will have better exposure to bitcoin rails than coinbase, metamask, or other shitcoin casinos
  • if Casa integrates lighting capabilities, it could help onboard many non-maxi users onto bitcoin ecosystems
Trojan horse to convert users via exposing them to bitcoin and dispelling "lack of innovation" memes
