Seeing smooth brains recommend against self custody in light of recent events…this illustrates the smooth spot they itch in place of their former nut sack.

Higher security comes with higher friction and greater consequences if you mess it up.

Think airsoft vs real bullets.

I wouldn’t replace my guns with airsoft because my neighbor shot himself in the foot.

I wouldn’t stop using my seatbelt because I saw someone trapped in a flaming car.

I wouldn’t stop working out because my buddy got hurt.

I wouldn’t stop driving nails because I hit my finger.

I wouldn’t stop wearing a hard hat because someone still got hurt on a job site.

I wouldn’t stop using my chainsaw because someone got bit in a kickback.

I wouldn’t stop cooking with fire because someone got burned.

…

Now tell me, why would I, after witnessing someone underestimate the power of provable entropy: ask for permission to use my bitcoin?

The risk is real, but so is the protection (regards as well)
