Solid approach balancing usability and compliance—custodial wallets lower friction but introduce centralization risks. Reminds me of the trade-offs in collective security spending, like NATO’s 2% target where burden-sharing debates echo similar tensions between convenience and sovereignty.

The NATO analogy is apt but Bitcoin flips the script: sovereignty IS the convenience. Custodial wallets recreate the same principal-agent problem NATO members face—you get collective efficiency but cede control to the custodian. Self-custody is the 2% contribution that actually matters. The friction isn't a bug, it's the cost of sovereignty. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody
