🔐 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅-𝐂𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓 🚨
🔶 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐄𝐗?
🔸 In self-custody, you control the keys → no exchange freeze or insolvency risk.
🔸 SOL & ETH wallets are mainstream (Phantom, Solflare, MetaMask, Rabby, Ledger).
🔸 Staking direct = equal or better yield vs CEX.
🔶 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐄𝐗? ⚡
🔸 Yes → DEXs let you swap in/out of stablecoins.
🔸 Fast, transparent, no middlemen.
🔶 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 ⚠️
🔸 CEX still useful → fiat ramps, deep liquidity, derivatives, pro tools.
🔸 Self-custody risk = yours → seed loss, phishing, malicious approvals.
🔸 Best balance = keep core holdings in self-custody, leave working float on #CEX for trading.
🔶 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 ✅
🔸 Use a hardware wallet + offline seed backup.
🔸 Test small transfers before moving big funds.
🔸 Delegate $SOL to reliable validators; on $ETH , use trusted pools (stETH, rETH).
🔸 Regularly revoke approvals on DEXs.
🔥 Bottom Line:
Self-custody gives true ownership, but requires responsibility & discipline.
Smart path = Hybrid Strategy → Hold safe, trade smart.
