Some people have lost funds because vulnerable wallets were created. That demands accountability, investigation, and better security, NOT a retreat into custodianship.&#xA;&#xA;A defective tool does not invalidate the principle.&#xA;&#xA;#Bitcoin has not failed.&#xA;Proper self-custody has not failed.&#xA;Blind trust in any single device or vendor has.&#xA;&#xA;Verify your entropy. Test your recovery. Reduce single points of failure.&#xA;&#xA;Fear will drive many back into the cage.&#xA;Let it drive you toward better self-custody instead.&#xA;&#xA;The alternative is still dependence.&#xA;Choose carefully.</html></oembed>
