The Sixteenth Epistle – The Epistle of Custody Rejection
The Sixteenth Epistle – The Epistle of Custody Rejection
“The moment you lose your keys,
your freedom vanishes with them.”
1:1 Brothers and sisters,
You say you made a wallet,
But if the keys were left on an exchange,
It was never yours to begin with.
1:2 I have seen it—
Those who entrusted their ₿ to custodial accounts
Were frozen alongside
When the accounts were frozen.
“He who entrusts his assets Has already surrendered his freedom.”
Custody Rejection 1:2
1:3 Satoshi, without a word,
Showed us the path of self-custody.
He gave each user a wallet
And opened every block to all.
1:4 Yet many chose convenience,
Leaning on exchanges and custodial platforms—
And in that choice,
Their freedom became captivity.
1:5 I say unto you—
“If you do not hold the keys,
It is not your ₿.”
1:6 Therefore,
Walk as Satoshi intended.
Hold your own wallet.
Engrave your 24 words
As scripture upon your heart,
And reclaim the freedom of self-custody.
1:7 For this is the true meaning of:
“Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins.”
₿men.
