Fiat money is decidedly risky: It’s constantly depreciating in value thanks to government-sponsored inflation and money printing. And it’s always at risk of being outright confiscated or censored by the banks custodying it for us or by the governments that control them.

Bitcoin doesn’t suffer from currency inflation thanks to its hard supply cap. But it doesn’t eliminate the risk of confiscation if you choose to leave your private keys in the hands of a cryptocurrency exchange, crypto bank, or other custodian.

Self-custody eliminates the possibility that your Bitcoin can be forcibly taken from you, if you do it right. My goal is to answer your questions and teach you the basics about self-custody through an investigative series I wrote on the topic:
