selfcustod

📖 A trader I'll call M. had six figures sitting on an exchange for two years. "It's fine," he said. "I'll move it eventually." Eventually never came — until the exchange froze withdrawals during a liquidity crunch that had nothing to do with him. Three weeks of radio silence. Support tickets. No answers. His money wasn't gone — it just wasn't his anymore, not really. It belonged to whoever controlled the keys.$BTC
He got it back, eventually. Most of it. But the lesson stuck harder than the loss ever could: convenience is a loan you take against your own control, and the interest rate only shows up when you least expect it.
Self-custody isn't paranoia. It's just remembering who's actually supposed to hold the keys.$BNB
Genuine question — how much of your stack do you actually control right now?
