Self custody is the way but it's still so difficult for normies to comprehend. I've been pushing it for as long as I've been in crypto yet most of my non crypto-obsessed friends are very resistant and still just use Coinbase, etc.

I'm eagerly awaiting a full post mortem of this latest hack. It's a scary one.

GenX animal lover. Bitcoin '13. Reformed digital marketer. Into art, books, travel, and kindness. Highly skeptical of current crypto landscape.

Normies that just want to use Coinbase are not into crypto for the tech, they are only in it for the money. Then again I would imagine 75%+ of people that own crypto are just in it to make money.

I knew this last cycle, but I thought by this cycle we would have more adoption. There has really only been incremental adoption since 2021.

Yep, this realization has been one of my biggest disappointments over the past several years. Very few actually care about decentralization at all.

Crypto has mostly just become 1000 different ways to gamble.
