If you don’t control the keys to your Bitcoin, you don’t actually have any #Bitcoin. You have a promise from the person or company holding your Bitcoin that they’ll be delivered to you when you ask, and you have a hope that the promise won’t be broken. Recent events in traditional finance and in “Crypto” have shown us that those promises aren’t worth much.

Why risk it? #BTC allows us to relatively easily protect our wealth from theft and manipulation if we choose to hold it ourselves. No other money offers us that possibility.

I wrote an article last Spring about the risks of leaving your wealth in the hands of traditional or “crypto” banks. Check it out for yourself:
