Holding your own keys—it's not about ease or convenience. It's about something deeper: the choice to control your destiny in crypto.
Self-custody demands commitment. You've got to manage seed phrases, handle security protocols, make every move count. Yeah, it's friction. But that friction? It's a feature, not a bug. It separates those who are genuinely invested in the space from those just chasing the next pump.
When you self-custody, you're not just storing coins. You're making a statement. You're saying "I believe in this enough to take full responsibility." That's conviction.

I'm tired of the self-custody rhetoric. How should one truly prove their conviction?

Well said, a true hodler must do this—self-custody of keys is what truly means ownership.

That's right, self-custody keys are a stance. If you're unhappy, just go to a decentralized exchange.

NGL, self-custody is a bit overrated. True big players have already entrusted their assets to institutions; it's just a risk and reward trade-off.

This friction is indeed a feature, really. Those who find it troublesome will eventually suffer the consequences.
