Anyone else starting to feel the 'Self-Custody' anxiety lately?

I’ve been going back and forth on this all morning, just thinking out loud here, but I’m really torn on the whole self-custody debate. On one hand, there’s that sense of total freedom when you’re managing your own hardware wallet and you know exactly where your seed phrases are. It’s the original vision, right? But then I start thinking about the actual pressure of it. The fear of making a single typo in a long address or just the nightmare of losing that physical piece of paper where the keys are written down. One mistake and that's it, all your money is gone.

Then you look at the other side of the coin with these regulated platforms and ETFs. Yeah, you aren’t holding the keys yourself, but you get things like actual customer support, beneficiary settings for your family, and a "forgot password" button. It’s basically trading off some of that independence for a safety net. I keep wondering if the stress of being your own security guard is worth the control, or if we’ve reached a point where the convenience of having a "custodian" is actually the more logical move for most people.

I’m really curious to hear how you guys are balancing this lately. Are you still sticking with the hardware wallet for everything, or have you started moving toward the more "managed" side for the peace of mind? What’s the vibe?
