The superior way to hold Bitcoin in my opinion

In my opinion Bitcoin offers various benefits depending on how you use it. For example, the most basic level is holding Bitcoin through an ETF. You can't leave the country with your Bitcoin in just 12 memorized words, it's the most basic way to hold Bitcoin, only using it for the NGU.

It's slightly better if you hold Bitcoin on an exchange, at least you could send the BTC to someone else as money.

The next level is to hold it in self-custody with KYC. At least you no longer have the risk of the exchange going bankrupt or your accounts being blocked, but you're a slave to the government that knows about your BTC.

And the ultimate, best way is to hold it in self-custody without KYC. This is where all the benefits of BTC are unlocked, the most powerful way to fight the system.

If you're at the initial levels, I advise you to gradually work your way up to the higher level Bitcoin holding way.
