There’s a movement afoot that insists it’s impractical for most people to self-custody their Bitcoin

Bullshit.

Stop acting like it’s a virtue that you can’t handle securing 24 words. It’s pathetic.

Letting someone else custody your Bitcoin is like letting someone else have sex with your wife.

Quit fucking around, get a ColdCard or a Trezor or a Keystone - they’re all fucking great.

I want to tell you how easy it is (because it is) but you know what, it’s also hard. Because it’s hard to be a man. It’s hard to take responsibility. Fair enough. But just because you’re too much of a sorry sack of shit to trust yourself does not mean you can hang around the internet encouraging other people to be as pitiful as you.

Be a man. Custody your own wealth. Or keep being somebody else’s bitch. Your choice.

Merry Christmas!

Edit: this is not a screed against people who simply aren’t ready to take custody (we all go at our own pace). This is a screed against the asshats trying to spin cowardice into a virtue, saying because they are too irresponsible to handle a password that it’s ok to be a coward. Those idiots can gtfo.
