Yes exactly.

Name of the game is to cross the finish line (hyperbitcoinization) by having lost the least amount of sats. Deflationary assets have a tendency to be lost 🤷🏻‍♂️

Some of the losses on my own node were out of my control. But if I were to lose any sats on exchange or on a custodial wallet, ALL of those losses would have been out of my control.

Control whatbyou can and accept the risks. It's always a tradeoff.
