Why are you so angry? Are you incapable of having a civil discussion? I did not disrespect you once.

No self custody means Bitcoin failed. That’s not a stretch. The point of Bitcoin is to hold money that the state doesn’t control.

So the implication of your statement is that Bitcoin will fail. Yes those are your words. I did not put them in your mouth. Unless you think that Bitcoin can succeed without self custody, then I would be wrong for putting words in your mouth. Although I have a hard time believing you actually think that. No self custody in Bitcoin means it failed.

I spent hours trying to understand your thought process and all you’ve suggested is that Bitcoin is guilty by association which is a logical fallacy. The NSA played a major role in the development of modern cryptography but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it or that it’s bad. They’re tools that can be used. They’re amoral.

And now you’re telling me to fuck off after I wasted all this time trying to understand the risks you’re anticipating?
