Sovereignty Over Your Money: Control It or Lose It
"Satoshi taught us not to entrust our money with third parties. Not your key, not your coins."
Cryptocurrency represents control over your own money. If you don't self-custody, you are essentially handing over your assets to a third party that might not have your best interests at heart. They could be compromised, scammed, or even forced to relinquish control by external forces.
Becoming self-sovereign may come with its challenges, but as crypto history has shown, leaving your assets with custodians is a guaranteed way to set yourself up for risk. True control lies in self-custody, securing both your future and the community's integrity.
WARNING: The following non-custodial exchanges are associated with extremely high risks, frozen funds, proof of funds or identity also including potential scams and high KYC requirements.
Note: Exolix and Swapuz, both owned by ChangeNOW, were exposed for falsely claiming to operate separately. After being reported to Kycnot.me, they were delisted due to inconsistencies and because they lied to the community. [1] [2] (search for 'Exolix')
Note: ByBit risks user funds by freezing deposits, requiring documentation for fund origins, and labeling privacy protocols as "high-risk," undermining its safety claims and violating ethical standards in the cryptocurrency industry. [974] [1]
