 So, i think this whole conversation helped me to understand why self-custody is so important. Giving it to someone else custody it is basically turning oneself into a vassal/drone for whatever war that entity wants to wage. It's essentially a Microstrategy War Bond or a ArkB war bond (or more like a Brian Armstrong War Bond).

keeping it in one's own control brings the battle to oneself. I get to choose what I fight for. It's the ultimate dream of anyone who lived through watching Afghanistan, Iraq, and all the rest.
