That's well put. Growing the 'user base' of *real* Bitcoiners is really important... after all self-custody comes with overwhelming benefits and education that 'custodial' arrangements don't have and can't create. I believe that one day we'll have "hyperbitcoinization" and although it will be a minority, the number of people self-custodying will be enormous and sustainable.

it's true: unless you have a sats flow that is unidirectional, mostly it's taking in sats and breathing them back out. One channel can last for a pretty long time.
