> To Aanuoluwatofunmi :
I agree with you 100%, and I see nothing wrong with people doing what they want with their fund. But what bothers me is the fact that to get it in the beginning, it seems like you had to be part of PoW protocol, in order to be rewarded for your work of verification and security, in other words, to be a dev or to know one.
Of course I know the existence of the SHA-256 hash function.
I also understand the fact that you can't realize what you're doing at any given time, and that "some dont even know that their keys lies in the hands of the CEX, while others may know but never care because they believe in their reputation, while some never understand why they were into such at all". But it also seems that it was possible to buy bitcoins online on specialized platforms (CEX ?), physical terminals or in exchange for any good or service with a person who already had it.
And that's my whole problem: how would I have held my Bitcoins, without any computer skills, without any desire to sell it, loan it or trade it, ONLY wanted to exchange my fiat in BTC, WITHOUT any third party ?
(trust me, I know where I'm going, I know it takes several questions and messages, but you should never rush into your conclusions, but rather confirm them)
