I guess that’s part of the paradox, “trust in a trust-less system”… the inconvenience comes into play when you are bound to external actors with which they must trust to keep “their” Bitcoin safe and secure.. and still be “their Bitcoin”… Most of the time this turns into custody within a centralized system.

Yes. To me the most important material objective of life is to reduce my dependence on / exposure to the dangerous insanity of normies.
As long as there are enough of us who are awake to this stuff we ultimately don't have to care how much the normies get rugged / wreck their health / lock themselves up.
A lot of that vision depends on bitcoin/nostr specifically - and the possibility of building a free world that is genuinely resistant to the normie/zombie universe, and which will in time supercede it. I would be completely despairing at this point otherwise.
