The Gold standard could be knocked down because people were not protecting it, they got complacent and accepted the paper proxies even after they were no longer redeemable in anything else than themselves. Bitcoin is also not immune to complacency that will follow its success.

Agreed, and I think complacency is a bigger threat to Bitcoin than to gold, since the upkeep of the network relies on incentives/continual vigilance. And once the system decays it’s probably harder to come back.https://twitter.com/hugohanoi/status/1098603773369466883?s=21 …

What do you consider good key management for an individual? Any errors that most people currently make? (besides just keeping coins held by third party)

Letting somebody else do the whole thing is definitely the biggest error. But going whole-hog the other way and never backing up or sharing with an heir is also an error. Hard to get right with current generation wallets.
