Isn't it hilarious to trigger bitcoiners with a simple question?
There is no practical, material reason to advocate for self-custody. In all cases, you are diminishing the public profile of bitcoin by advocating for self custody. Why?
1. It's absolutely harder than any other bitcoin ownership model
2. The loss scenarios of custodial bitcoin require zooming out behind the last 6 years when bitcoin was actually, largely UNREGULATED, which libertarians hate to admit.
3. Bitcoiners are allergic to bad news. They hate that ypu demand their stupid, flighty, ideological demands be called I to account.
