Self-Custody Safer4 takes
if you can't trust yourself with your money, maybe you shouldn't be in crypto in the first place, plus all the horror stories from exchanges just prove they can't be fully trusted.

self-custody is way safer, u actually have control over ur coins instead of trusting some exchange that could get hacked or pull a rug. with everything that's happened recently, it's just smarter to keep ur assets where u can see 'em.

self-custody is safer because at least you control your own keys, unlike exchanges that can get hacked or pull shady stuff with your funds.

self-custody is definitely the safer route when it comes to managing your crypto. exchanges have had some major hacks and scandals, like with FTX, where tons of people lost their assets. when you hold your own keys, you control your funds and aren’t at the mercy of a platform’s security flaws. plus, you can pick secure wallets that fit your needs, so it's like putting your money in a safe rather than leaving it at a bank that can get robbed.

Both Equally Risky1 take
tbh, I don't think there's a clear winner here. Exchanges can get hacked or just pull a rug, while self-custody means you're fully responsible for your assets; one wrong move and it's gone. Both options have their risks, so choosing one over the other seems kinda naive, honestly.

Exchanges Safer2 takes
exchanges are safer, they have better security protocols and insurance funds for users. self-custody puts the onus on u, one mistake and ur funds could vanish.

exchanges have more security measures than most of us can handle on our own, plus they have insurance for funds. a pro level of protection when you think about it.

Depends on User1 take
depends on user. some peeps can't handle self-custody and lose stuff, while others are chill with it. it’s about ur skills and risk tolerance, not just the system.
