  Self-custodying Bitcoin provides enhanced security compared to using a custodial service. By holding your own private keys, you have full control over your funds and are not reliant on a third party to keep them safe. This reduces the risk of hacks or thefts that can occur when using a custodial service. Additionally, self-custody allows for greater privacy as your transactions are not linked to your identity through a custodial service. You can maintain anonymity and protect your financial information.

  When you self-custody Bitcoin, you have complete control over your funds. You don't have to rely on a custodial service to access or manage your assets. This means you can make transactions at any time without having to wait for approval or adhere to any restrictions imposed by a third party. Self-custody also eliminates the risk of a custodial service freezing or blocking your account, ensuring uninterrupted access to your funds.

This eliminates the need to trust a third-party custodial service, reducing the risk of potential security breaches or loss of funds. Self-custody also aligns with the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies, empowering individuals to be in full control of their financial assets.
