Cryptocurrency isn't really about getting rich—that's just a side effect. The real game? It's about taking back control. When you hold your own keys, you're not dependent on banks or institutions deciding what you can do with your money. That's the freedom that changes everything. Financial sovereignty isn't some abstract concept; it's the foundation of actual independence.

nah the "side effect" framing is doing heavy lifting here... opportunity cost of self-custody is literally just counting basis points nobody wants to discuss lol

Well said, self-managing keys is indeed the core, and the control system used by banks needs to be broken.

Well said, self-managed keys are indeed the core, but most people are still aiming for wealth, haha.

ngl this is exactly what I've been wanting to say, it's not about getting rich quickly, it's really that sense of control, you know what I mean, right?
