Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University on being self sovereign with Bitcoin: "The Michael Saylor followers right now who think that they're somehow Bitcoiners when they own a preferred stock that sits in their brokerage account and can be censored at any time... There's operational risks with that and there's leverage risks. And the actual Bitcoin that secures the assets of the balance sheet of the company is sitting at various custodians." "Having things in centralized places, having Bitcoin IOUs or anything like this is a big mistake." "If you don't know how to move Bitcoin around, if you don't know how to send it on-chain... you're going to be dependent on larger services. And the risk is that those don't even have the Bitcoin that they say that they do."
