About this cartoon

The oldest line in the room, and still the one nobody wants to hear.

It sounds simple until it's your funds sitting on someone else's exchange, someone else's server, someone else's terms of service. Custody isn't a technicality. It's the whole point.

Self-custody isn't glamorous. No notifications, no app, no customer support line to call at 2am. Just a seed phrase, written down properly this time, and the quiet responsibility of actually owning something.

That's the trade. Most people find out the hard way which side of it they're on.
