Putting all your bitcoin does that, not some. Some centralized solutions advance much faster than bitcoin, helping bitcoin in the process, not the opposite. I can save in bitcoin in self-custody because I can spend it through a trusted third party. The mix works, it's happening.
Agree things like LN enable scaling and involve a degree of third party custody but with LN you can always convert back to the main protocol. Things like ETFs are completely different IMO and instead of enabling MoE as LN does, ETFs undermine the purpose of Bitcoin.

I'm not talking about ETFs but just about being able to buy your food on a daily basis. Pleb stuff. Only third party solutions make it possible for now, and that allows for faster bitcoin adoption in self-custody, not the opposite.
