There's kind of this fundamental tension isn't there: either our society has to change at some fundamental level (self-custody implies personal responsibility) or bitcoin changes (insured bitcoin, seedless is safer, multi constitutional custody is real bitcoin ownership)...or bitcoin self custody remains niche.
Remaining niche may be okay, but probably not for anything like durable long term censorship resistant bitcoin.

I think it'll just be gradual and we're going to be impatient with the pace.
It takes time for people to become comfortable with new technologies and for entrepreneurs to find the right sales pitches to resonate with different kinds of people.

fair enough. Just so long as we don't end up thinking self-custody is inevitable.
