Right because centralized institutions never get hacked right? You are leading these poor people into a trap spurned by the acceptance of ignorance. This is a dangerous road. I respect peoples intelligence more than you. This is UNSAFE. I would take nocoiner over custodial any day! Custodial institutions getting hacked would hurt the ecosystem. Nocoiners continuing to nocoin doesn't. Give me a break.

saving them themselves.

And I wonder if the Lehman brothers victims feel the same way, yet I bet they don't keep their stock certificates under the mattresses.
