Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

For some reason, almost ever entity that gets involved in BTC seems to want to create their own coin, and in the end, bitcoin is going to be the coin that is likely to rule them all, so maybe not a bad thing for all of these new coins to allow some levels of comfort to bring various persons and entities into crypto and subsequently into bitcoin.

1) Self-Custody is a right. There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted." 2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized. 3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k

https://next.autonomous.com/thoughts?tag=cryptocheck out the crypto funds by inception bar chart A similar story can be seen in the inception dates of crypto funds. We continue to build out a database of crypto hedge funds, which follow one of the following strategies: (1) liquid venture investing in tokens, (2) cryptocurrency traders and former hedge fund managers, (3) token baskets, akin to software fund-of-funds, (4) crypto-indexes and (5) artificially intelligent or automated bot funds. For now, we exclude investment vehicles built by traditional asset managers that package exposure to a single currency, such as the Bitcoin Investment Trust from DGC/Grayscale. While data visibility in this space is quite poor, and not all "funds" are actually funds, we are able to piece together a fairly coherent story about what is happening. Our current view is that 75%+ of these funds were started in 2017, that in total they manage between $2 and $3 billion, but aspire to manage $8 billion, and that size is concentrated among the few early movers like Pantera and Polychain.

I'm curious how this linked article is actually bullish for bitcoin - except perhaps to reassert that a large majority of ICOs are pure speculative crap?

**Bump**
Was just looking through my trust feedback’s & remembered by old pal Fakhoury. What the hell happened to him, he was a regular poster here, I spoke to him many times privately.
This thread was great to keep spirits up all those years ago during the long bear market. Was Fak’s account hacked?
He or somebody on his account last signed in 7th November, that’s only 2 days ago.

Info regarding him has not been posted in this thread, and I have not seen it anywhere else on the forum. I also had several PMs with him, but I think that he has been gone for more than 6 months... before March-ish, right?

Go New Hampshire, go! Now every other U.S. state needs to follow in their shoes. https://twitter.com/keithammon/status/914207798682152960?s=17Exempts those 'in the business of selling or issuing payment instruments or stored value in the form of convertible virtual currency' or 'receiving convertible virtual currency for transmission to another location' from registering as money transmitters.
