Appreciate you sharing your story about your grandfather. Thank God he could self custody his gold at the time as I’m sure was crucial to starting a new life. I see Bitcoin in the same light. God forbid something bad happens like what happens to your grandfather I want the ability to take my wealth with me. 

9-11 really changed my perspective on the US government. I don’t trust the people running the government at all as they will do anything to keep power.. Custodians are ok at least you have legal recourse if something goes wrong
