Talk about real ownership for a sec.



When you hold crypto in your own wallet, you're not just parking money on some platform. Your assets sit there governed by smart contracts—you're actually in control.

That's fundamentally different from traditional investing. With a brokerage account, you're trusting an intermediary. With self-custody on-chain, the contract rules are transparent and immutable. Nobody can lock you out. Nobody can freeze your funds.

It's not just a feature shift. It's a whole different paradigm.

Managing your own wallet is indeed satisfying, but the premise is that you don't lose your private key... Have you truly kept it safe yourself?

Really, with self-custody, it's awesome. I no longer have to watch the exchange's expressions.

Self-managed wallets mean essentially going from being an employee to being your own boss, no longer having to look at the platform's face.

Self-managed wallets... to put it simply, it's about truly taking control of your own destiny without having to rely on the platform's approval.
