For anyone that Doesn't know what Proof of Keys is it was an Idea that began in 2018 by Trace Mayer on twitter that involved the Bitcoin community as a whole retaking control of their Funds. Most people leave a lot of their Bitcoin on centralized exchanges which are often prone to hacks, exit scams, insolvency and as of today are increasingly enforcing KYC on their users.
https://twitter.com/TraceMayer/status/1071870548421066753Proof Of keys was meant as way for the Bitcoin community of retaking and exercising control of their bitcoins ( not your keys not your Coins) by simultaneously withdrawing all their Bitcoins every January 3rd of the year from centralized exchanges, third-party bitcoin services and Custodial wallet providers and moving it to private wallets controlled by themselves.
This was meant as a way of exposing exchanges that were perhaps running fractional reserves, faking trading Volumes and/or generally being disingenuous with their users.
However 2 years on the movement doesn't seem to have gained as much traction as originally hoped, with community participation being somewhat limited based on, on chain data which did not suggest any spike in transactions.
And yet even with this limited participation many exchanges were reported to have delayed/frozen withdrawals or halting trading for supposed maintenance, including Hitbtc, Robinhood, Poloniex, Qudriga ( Exit scammed later )
So what Do you think can be done to spread greater Awareness about Proof Of keys and ensure greater community participation when the Next proof of keys event takes place in 2021
