What would be the point in custodial bitcoin? One of the main reasons bitcoin was invented is to have a private, decentralised, non custodial digital currency that doesn't depend on centralised companies like visa/paypal. WHy would anyone buy bitcoin and use coinbase instead of just using paypal, other than for asset speculation purposes?

You ask these questions but then promote a shitcoin like Kaspa…

I don’t promote custodial solutions but you live in a fantasy world if you don’t think that a global money will not have some people using it with trusted custodians. I won’t hold my bitcoin with custodians but I am not going to bash people that choose to do so.

The key is that everyday people can “choose” to opt out and take their bitcoin into self-custody with relative ease.

The point of Bitcoin is to fix the money. That means different things to different people. Bitcoin is winning and will continue to win. Your shitcoin will continue to trend to zero against Bitcoin
