>But at least in crypto I have the OPTION of storing it myself.

... what do you call putting cash in your wallet?

The equivalent of writing my seed phrase down and storing it in 1 location.

With crypto I can:

* lock my cash on a device behind a pin (with forced reset after a few attempts)

* back it up in multiple physical locations, and require n of the m recovery locations to be accessed for recovery

* memorize the seed phrase before escaping from an oppressive regime

None of this is possible with cash in my wallet.
