Agree with what has been said above. After years on this forum, your first impression is hardly being discussed. At best, people ask that to eventually correct some of your assumptions about crypto, which doesn't have to happen if we're discussing crypto in-depth. Your misleading assumption will get ironed out eventually.
As for your feeling that personal responsibility is important to secure your crypto, that's not wrong. Self-custody is great. Some people dislike it because it feels inconvenient at times, but trust me, you'll accept that trade-off if you know how often people lose money because they trust an exchange yet that exchange got hacked or something else happened to them. 2FA or something isn't a magic tool either. You must understand what they do before you use them.
Makes sense. Have you ever had a personal experience that made you learn not to ever use third parties or you learnt from other people's experiences?
