I despise banks, so I have no intention of using their services.
I don't want the bank or the government to know about my gold, because I'm going to buy it on the black market.
Just like with crypto...
Pretty sure you use your bank box in privacy... Is buying gold on fbmarket place the "black market"? If you store your gold w/family thats also not self custody. Infact unless you carry it around or have access 24/7 is it really self custody? Maybe the best bet it to buy gold chain to have on your person at all times for maximum custody
