Technically speaking, I’ve tried to move bitcoin, even through an exchange, which I know people are opposed to, and found it to be difficult. Don’t think self custody even feels possible for a non-tech person like me.
Okay I’m done. For now.
It’s getting smoother by the year. Self custody through the latest hardware wallets and mobile wallets is pretty smooth. You’re right, though, I don’t think custodial storage will be going away anytime soon, and that keeps getting better, too.
