Westerners are going at each other's throats over $BTC custody again.
BlackRock's digital asset head just told media that IBIT inflows hit ATH because holders are swapping self-custody for their ETF shares due to kidnappings and hacks.
Predictable shill. But the pushback? Brutal.
"BlackRock is happy to hold your keys for you..."
"NEVER give your Bitcoin to BlackRock!"
"Trading private keys for IOUs because it feels safer is literally how banks were born"
"Not your keys, not your coins"
"Almost like they planned to centralize custody from day one..."
These aren't random anons. Blockchain founders, 100k+ follower KOLs, media figures.
In an era where TradFi custody is sold as inevitable, this many people still die on the self-custody hill.
That's the crypto ethos. Love it or hate it, it's alive.
