If you are trading, its a cheaper choice. (Except if you are trading in Blockchains like polygon) Also, "not your keys not your coins", but most people are losing access to their Facebook account (without 2FA), they have no chance to keep their own keys..

People need to learn to take responsibility. If they lose their money once or twice, they won't do it again, because they will figure out exactly how to not lose their money. Losing access to a Facebook account is inconvenient because you have to do the whole forgot password thing, but losing access to your money and knowing there's no way to get it back is a whole different story.

I feel like you don't get duality of outcomes is for the poors. Rich people get their nut and they get it back. Always. I've read somewhere its like Rule #0 or #1 🤔

If a rich person is using crypto the way it is meant to be used with holding their own keys, then they don't get their money back either if they lose their keys. Literally, it's not your keys, not your coins. If they don't have the key, they don't have the coins no matter who they are.

I don't know how to admit what I feel when I watch all the scumbag upwardly-mobile already upper class yuppies crying about losing their currency cuz they wanted to 10x or whatever. It really is a beautiful thing and its even more hilarious how everyone babies rich douchebags.

If only they could quit poverty like the vapid dilletantez they are
