And those are great. But there is a cost to brushing over the technical aspects of things.&#xA;&#xA;Bitcoin&#39;s core features of immutability, permissionlessness, censorship resistance, and the incentive structure itself, are all tied in with self custody.&#xA;&#xA;So if self custody is gonna become more rare in the future, how are these properties preserved?&#xA;&#xA;The nice thing about the base layer is that no one can stop your transaction. But this does not seem obvious for layer 2s +. And if not all transactions on the higher layers are unstoppable, is it not a slippery slope?&#xA;&#xA;And could less and less self custody over time disrupt the incentive structure to where even the immutability could be compromised?&#xA;There is no such thing as 99.9% immutability.&#xA;&#xA;To sum up, I think where I end up, is with the conclusion that the job is far from done, and that we are in a race for self custody and building layer 2,3+ that will to the maximum ability preserve the properties of the base layer.</html></oembed>
