“Non custodial” is a psyop. It uses the negative “non” to sound bad. It makes it sound like custodial is the norm and this is the bad version of it.
It’s meant to scare you off — that’s why legislation in EU loves to use this phrasing.
Do not use non-custodial as a phase. It is a tool of the state to discourage you to from holding your own coins and taking control (away from them) of your money.

somebody will always have custody.
Custody is often used in regards of a property and how is controlled: self-cuastody or delegated custody.
non-custodial is confusing and also could mean that owned by nobody.

Exactly the point of legal government language- to say that unless “your” bitcoin is held by trusted safe and effective banks, it isn’t owned by anyone and can be seized.

The better would be delegated custody.

Yes. This is from the above post:
CURRENT TERMINOLOGY - BAD
Custodial - somebody else has custody of your wallet. "Not your keys, not your coins".
Non-Custodial - you have custody of your own wallet, i.e. self-custody
IMPROVED TERMINOLOGY - GOOD
Self Custody - you have custody of your bitcoin yourself
Delegated Custody - you have delegated custody of your bitcoin to someone else
The only problem..."delegated" has 4 syllables. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
Maybe "Entrusted" custody? "Assigned" custody?

The media psyop mind control people invented “non-custodial” for a reason. It’s not something we plebs just started saying.

I think it’s even better than non-custodial because delegated express the meaning of the custody by it self. Works in another languages too.
