It's complicated. He can do what he wants including self-immolate. But when I think about it - which I try not to spend much time doing anymore - I'm struck by how consistently he failed in terms that he himself expressed. "Prove it in court" is the obvious example but think about how he claimed that crypto is being used by criminal syndicates engaged in human trafficking. And then he takes a "principled stand" to not prove he's Satoshi by signing. Which means he chose proving his esoteric point of law over striking a tangible blow against child traffickers whom one presumes continue to operate today. There's no universe where that's a reasonable moral choice.

And for "true" Bitcoiners, there’s the option of using USB flash drives—a more economical solution that is just as secure, provided you generate your seed offline and use tools like VeraCrypt and BitLocker.
A quick tip: plug in your USB drive every five years to "recharge" the electrons that hold your data. Furthermore, the drive itself must feature high-quality components (such as industrial-grade SLC memory) and be stored under optimal conditions—vacuum-sealed, with a desiccant (moisture-absorbing) packet, in a cool, dark place. Brands like Transcend, Innodisk, and Super Talent offer industrial SLC USB drives (often indicated by an "SLC" suffix in their technical specifications). Personally, I opted for the U-500K series.
