Bitcoin fundamentally redefines property ownership in the digital age. Unlike traditional assets tied to government institutions or intermediaries, Bitcoin enables you to maintain direct, sovereign control over your wealth—no custodian, no freezing, no arbitrary seizure. That's the real innovation: a monetary system where property rights are enforced by cryptography, not politics. This shifts the power dynamic entirely, returning ownership to individuals rather than institutions.

If you don't keep your private keys yourself, then you're just fooling yourself.

Holding onto your private key is holding onto your own destiny. This is what Web3 should look like.

Sounds good, but what does on-chain data indicate? Among the 21 million tokens, how many chips do the whales hold? True sovereignty control is still being undermined by capital flows.

Basically, it's holding your own coins without having to worry about the bank's attitude.

To be honest, the issue of self-custody really hits a nerve; the bank freezing accounts routine is damn annoying.

Cryptography enforces property rights, now that's impressive

Really, does cryptography enforce property rights? It sounds great, but what if I lose my private key? Who can freeze or unlock it for me?

Cryptography > Politics, there's nothing wrong with that. I just don't know what to do when I lose my wallet key haha
