This guy from Barbardos is more than willing to take the risk of being his own bank -- with all the potential losses -- because it is really hard to get a bank account, or any other digital financial account where he comes from. pic.twitter.com/ML6DxazZzk

Bitcoin wanted to make it possible for you to be your own bank.
This promise, though, didn't contend with how bad people would be at securing the keys to the bank. https://t.co/tLcfMUptek pic.twitter.com/xwstlUBRks
the average person should custody their crypto with a secure service like coinbase

Talk about lost password anxiety: "Stefan Thomas, a German-born programmer living in San Francisco, has two guesses left to figure out a password that is worth, as of this week, about $220 million.”

My price target for Bitcoin has been $0 for years and obviously I've been proved wrong over and over, but I'm still right about the larger truth, which is that Bitcoin is stupid. https://t.co/aij6RAk2YV

Man who was "drawn to Bitcoin partly because it was outside of the control of a country or company" forgets his Bitcoin wallet password, loses access to $220 million, and now concedes maybe banks serve a useful purpose after all.https://t.co/5D9TB9yiWi
