the self-custody is a bit nerve racking for most because the first thing you learn is you and only you are responsible for your keys.
one thing i find interesting is that i never think about my hive and HBD in that way. Never had the what if i leak a key. There are some people who do not like how staking and unstaking works here but it is the ultimate safety, combined with decentralized account recovery it is a pretty good system.
Yeah, somehow people don't think keeping an ID number or their government number like SSN is nerve-wracking.
it just needs normalising. Banks have held on to a strong narrative for a long time, but they're no longer protecting our gold bullion from masked bandits. We'd be fine (mostly) holding those numbers for ourselves!
oh my not loving banks is on a high lvl. just today i had a rant about transaction fees being a % of the transaction :D wtf do they do differently if my transaction is 50$ or 500$. is someone looking at the screen looking harder while 500$ are going through?
yeh thats a crazy stupid thing
US has all that social security numbers thing awareness for a long time, you would be surprised how unaware people here are about it.
especially with digitalization. most people here skipped the late 90 early 00 of digitalization and i feel have no idea what is going on.
