It was called "Proof of Keys" days, started January 3, 2019,

But obviously we don't want to wait for this event to happen. As a Bitcoin enthusiast, we shouldn't put our crypto in a 3rd party exchange as we don't have total control. An in cases that exchange is hacked, or collapsed or whatever, say goodbye to your BTC.

Thank You TravelMug for confirming the date of the event for me.  I am working on a specific project and wanted to accurately include that event.  I remember it being a big deal back in the early days. While it may not be talked about as much or even done as much I absolutely agree that you must self custody your own crypto.  Otherwise you just don't own any.  But I'm preaching to the choir here.  I was surprised that there were people who hadn't heard of it.
