• 1st consideration is financial security and privacy. These are the cornerstones to true self-sovereignty. Not to get all doomsday, but financial isolation, currency debasement, and other social control tools are typically a dictator’s most powerful weapon against a free and fair people
• 2nd consideration is exchange risk. like Mount Gox in 2013, which lost $460 million worth of Bitcoin, or 850,000 bitcoin (equivalent to $42.5 billion today)
o You most likely have heard the saying, “not your keys, not your coins” and this is very true
• 3rd consideration is Bitcoin’s scarcity itself. If you are a hodler, you can either actively accelerate its scarcity or keep your keys on an exchange and have a neutral effect
o If you keep your coins on an interest-bearing app, you are even creating sell pressure on Bitcoin due to short sellers borrowing those exact coins from you. BlockFi and Celsius make their cut and pass interest on to you, but just know you are actively lowering the value of those coins you care so much about
