You said “your” bitcoin. Bitcoin is still bitcoin even if you don’t hold it. That’s like saying sats on @Wallet of Satoshi aren’t bitcoin. I don’t particularly like the tradeoff myself, and I don’t have a use for Liquid at the moment. @Blockstream sent me 20,000 sats to try it out, and I haven’t touched it since. It might provide some utility in the future, but the only way to HODL is on the base layer.
