Hi Ben,
Thanks for the AMA.

HI Ben thanks for participating!

How important is the tradeoff between security and simplicity?

It's obviously one of the biggest usability challenges when you move beyond a highly technical set of users. Fortunately, there have many improvements that have reduced this as a straight trade-off ...

Thanks for your thoughts, Ben! With someone with your deep technical background and experience in Bitcoin, I'm really interested in your take on this. A few follow-up questions:
