"Time to go full self custody" doesn't really fix the problem of selling or acquiring bitcoin. Would have loved a decision that put up even a little friction between exchange records and the IRS.
Despite the general friendliness that has been touted, I fully expect gov'ts to continue to lock-down on and off ramps to Bitcoin in the coming years. The whole purpose of the coin is to resist state censorship. It doesn't have much purpose beyond that.
