self-custody is definitely the safer route when it comes to managing your crypto. exchanges have had some major hacks and scandals, like with FTX, where tons of people lost their assets. when you hold your own keys, you control your funds and aren’t at the mercy of a platform’s security flaws. plus, you can pick secure wallets that fit your needs, so it's like putting your money in a safe rather than leaving it at a bank that can get robbed.

exchanges have more security measures than most of us can handle on our own, plus they have insurance for funds. a pro level of protection when you think about it.
