Think about it this way: traditional banking chains you to a single country's economic policies and financial regulations. One currency crisis, one geopolitical shift, and your purchasing power evaporates overnight. But with decentralized assets you self-custody? No intermediary risk, no government freeze orders, pure cryptographic security.

History shows us what happens during global instability. When traditional markets crack, capital flows toward assets outside the system—things no authority can confiscate or devalue overnight. Self-held crypto sits in that space. It's not about rejecting finance entirely; it's about having optionality. Your vault, your rules, your insurance against institutional failure.
