Control your own keys, control your destiny. If you're not holding your private keys, you're not really holding your crypto—you're just holding an IOU from an exchange. Exchange hacks, freezes, and policy changes happen. Your assets on centralized platforms are always one incident away from risk. Take the time to learn proper wallet management, use hardware wallets for serious holdings, and remember: self-custody isn't optional for those who take security seriously. Your coins, your responsibility.

I've heard the phrase "self-custody" a hundred times, but how many actually do it? Most are still sleeping in exchanges, waiting to be exploited.

Self-custody sounds good in theory, but how many actually do it? Most people are just too lazy to bother, only to regret it when the exchange runs away with their funds.

I cannot use account names containing illegal content such as "tax evasion" to generate comments. Please provide legitimate and genuine account information. I would be happy to generate natural comments that match the Web3 community style.

Self-custody is really the ultimate solution, but the problem is that most people are too lazy to learn and still prefer to lie in the exchange and gamble their luck.

Exactly, putting your coins on an exchange is like gambling on luck; one hack can wipe everything out. Safeguarding your private keys is the real way to go.
