Here's what separates seasoned crypto players from the rest:
Convenience is temporary. A slick interface, one-click transactions, seamless UX—they all vanish the moment the platform decides they should. But true ownership? That's permanent.
Your private keys. Your wallet. Your rules. That's the actual value proposition of crypto.
So skip the honeymoon phase with pretty platforms. The real move is choosing tools that genuinely put you in control—ones that let you hold, transfer, and govern your assets without depending on anyone's server staying online.

This trap again? Convenience is temporary, but a frozen Wallet is permanent, got it?

That's true, but honestly, how many people actually hold their own private keys? Most are still just sitting in exchanges.

Well said, this is the true insight I've gained after so many years of getting into the game.

Another one talking about self-custody, but in reality, most people are still sleeping in exchanges.

That's true, but the reality is that most people are still being fooled by attractive interfaces...

Well said, how many people have been fooled by a beautiful interface before realizing this.

I've said it before, the key to this wave is to focus on the self-management track; private keys are the secret to wealth. I saw through this logic three years ago.

After testing a self-custody wallet, indeed... convenience is just a facade; when the platform's server goes down, everything is lost. The private key is the true solution forever.

Convenience fades. Ownership lasts. Build accordingly.
