I think there is an important distinction.
Just have access to bitcoins price movements offers you zero freedom.
Being able to control your money on your terms. That's freedom in this application.
If mass adoption happens and everyone is using a custodian.
We have only recreated the system we are in of custodians.
And asking permission.
You have you ask yourself, not just you, but everyone should ask themselves.
What are you here for?
To pump your bags.
Or see a voluntary monetary system actually bring us out from under the thumb of daddy gubberment.
Custodians will play a role in all this, that's is unavoidable.
Also another thing.
Why is it that everyone just wants stuff done for them.
Shit takes hard work, hundreds of hours of learning to feel comfortable and confident with bitcoin
People show up and act like they don't need to get educated on it
There is so much more information available now, guides walkthroughs, on how to self custody your corn.
'It's hard' is a poor excuse, it's not hard. That person is just lazy.
Tldr: what's the point of mass adoption of we just recreate the system we are already in.
