Can self-custody be too difficult to practice by a crypto investor? Because I spoke to somebody about bitcoin and the person responded by saying that they are not too sure that they can trust their self to keep their investment safe because of their careless nature, and this got me thinking because can I call this person being very sincere or the person is just afraid to try.
Everyone should be in-charge and control of their bitcoin investment, and if somebody knows that they cannot practice self custody then I don't believe that bitcoin should be what they are investing in because it is simply not safe for someone else to be helping you manage your investments in bitcoin.
If the person is sincere enough to say they can't trust themselves to hold and protect their own asset, then I think it's safe to say that they are not ready to invest in Bitcoin, and they should not be persuaded before they make the mistake of losing everything because of the carelessness they have already talked about.
Even the unrecommended backup method that Omega mentioned isn't entirely safe, as anyone careless enough can lose their cloud login access to a stranger who can drain the wallet.
