Good evening everyone, I had a lengthy conversation with my boss last night after work at the pub. He noticed my strong interest in Bitcoin and also saw Stacker.News on my desktop at work; it was in Dark mode and seemed odd to him, so he asked what it was. After I told him it's a forum about Bitcoin, everything was okay. Anyway, we got to talking about the topic of selfcustody. He mentioned he's quite interested in digital currencies, especially Bitcoin, but he's hesitant about managing the keys through his own wallet. He read somewhere that more Bitcoin has been lost due to faulty transactions on private wallets than ever on exchanges, but I am not sure if FTX and others are included in that count, haha. In any case, how do you approach the issue of selfcustody versus not for beginners or the average person?
