"It’s not an uncommon opinion that “the masses” likely won’t self-custody. But without self-custody, what’s even the point of something like Bitcoin?"

We should measure the probability (whether and when there will be widespread acceptance of self-custody) not by what we know how it can and should be, but by what consumers are used to in their banking transactions today.

Consumers (I can say this for the EU) have been hit hard in this respect in recent years; they have had to give up some of their cherished habits and get used to completely new processes. And: they have done so.

Measured against this, the requirements for self-custody are not excessively high. tmho
