We discussed this on a panel in Vegas with @SeedSigner @zherbert and @max_guise. Bitkey's seedless approach is still portable, but it does have a few drawbacks to portability that seed phrases offer. 1. Bitkey requires to pay fees for an on-chain transaction to transfer funds. 2. Bitkey requires the Bitkey hardware to be available to transfer. If yours fails you have to buy a new one. 3. In the case of Block disappearing AND the extreme action of the mobile app and key being remotely removed from a customer's phone, the customer also must not be frozen out of their Apple/Google accounts. And their Bitkey hardware device must be functional. I believe that is a complete set of drawbacks to Bitkey's seedless design vs. other products' seed phrase designs. If anyone can think of others, please add to the list. IMO the above list is relatively small drawbacks for most people, and the hazards of seed phrases greatly outweigh the above for most people. Thus, it is perfectly reasonable, and certainly not dishonest, to claim seedless is safer. A less catchy but more balanced take is "seedless is safer for most people, but for some people using seed phrases is the right approach." xitter.twitterapi.xyz/moneyball/status/19277…
