Etymology: humility early 14c., "quality of being humble," from Old French umelite "humility, modesty, sweetness" (Modern French humilité), from Latin humilitatem (nominative humilitas) "lowness, small stature; insignificance; baseness, littleness of mind," in Church Latin "meekness," from humilis "lowly, humble," literally "on the ground," from humus "earth"
Humility is a disposition, an attitude that arises chiefly from a constellation of intricate factors. Broadly speaking, it stems from a recognition of the world as an interconnected whole, in which every individual forms merely a part and every element serves its purpose. From this perspective, the folly of arrogance—of deeming oneself superior to others—becomes starkly apparent. Consider the liver: were it to proclaim its own supremacy over the heart or lungs and demand everything for itself, what havoc it would wreak. Humility, then, may be regarded as the outgrowth of a deeper comprehension of reality, expressed through human conduct. Yet it tends to fade once we fully grasp the context that envelops us; like all things, it fulfils a specific role. For this reason, it is not inherently a virtue. “It is just a ladder to climb and then be thrown away” (L. Wittgenstein-Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus).
Given that I regard humility as an attitude inherent to a journey, and thus a transient state, I should like to highlight the eminent figure of George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff.....
My view is that banks cannot delegate the custody of Bitcoin to third parties, for in doing so they would cease to be banks... It may well be that they are genuinely struggling to grasp how Bitcoin functions (multisig, etc.), and, as you rightly point out, the risks of custody will remain their paramount concern. Engaging in this with shitcoins such as Tether is perhaps because, as banks, they are chiefly obliged to store shit.... Banks will also have to learn how to operate as exchanges, so they must start studying some internal architectures for handling swaps, transactions, etc....So they need coins...
