the self-custody is a bit nerve racking for most because the first thing you learn is you and only you are responsible for your keys.

one thing i find interesting is that i never think about my hive and HBD in that way. Never had the what if i leak a key. There are some people who do not like how staking and unstaking works here but it is the ultimate safety, combined with decentralized account recovery it is a pretty good system.
