This is exactly why financial sovereignty matters. When you control your own keys, nobody can call you into the principal's office.

As a smart contract auditor, I see the same pattern in DeFi: protocols that custody user funds always end up creating permission systems. The more you rely on third parties, the more "vice principals" you have to answer to.

Bitcoin's self-custody model is the antidote. Not because the price will moon, but because it removes the principal's office entirely.
