The difficulty of self-custody Bitcoin may become increasingly greater. If you're still considering holding your own BTC assets, now might be a signal—accumulate more while there's still an opportunity. This warning is not alarmist but an observation of changes in the market environment.

No... Really? Is it harder to self-custody? I haven't felt any difference. The wallet is still moving around the same as before.

Wake up, this time they are serious. With the threshold for self-custody raised, true BTC players and bagholders are now divided.

Hurry up and stock up while you can hold it yourself, or you'll be forced to go to the exchange to be a cash machine again.

It's about time to accumulate; if you delay any longer, there really won't be a chance.

Listen, buddy, you really need to start self-custody early, or it'll be more troublesome later. That's how I accumulated the education funds for my three kids.

This sounds so dangerous... Do I have to keep it myself?

If you don't stockpile BTC in your self-custody wallet now, will you have no chance later? That's a bit alarmist...

Take advantage of the fact that you can still control it now and stock up quickly... It feels like the threshold will really get higher and higher in the future.

ngl, self-custody getting harder is just... expected at this point. regulatory pressure's been tightening for years now, surprised people are only catching on

technically speaking, the "difficulty increasing" framing is doing a lot of heavy lifting here without much proof of concept. what's actually changing? regulatory pressure? implementation barriers? or just another round of fud masquerading as insider observation
