Custodial services for Bitcoin only thrive because centralized authorities have successfully planted the seeds of fear and dependency—the same playbook they’ve always used. It’s not natural for people to shy away from holding their own keys; it’s a manufactured mindset, rooted in a digital fiat mentality. This coercion isn’t about protecting people—it’s about control.

The push toward custodianship mirrors the intent behind physical money's slow fade. The few who orchestrate the system have always wanted to eliminate tangible, self-sovereign assets and replace them with something they can fully surveil and manipulate. Digital fiat—wrapped in convenience but soaked in coercion—is their ultimate tool for ensuring dependence.
