For the individual, this omission can feel as liberating as a summer afternoon with no obligations. To hold Bitcoin is to hold an instrument whose control is exact and non-negotiable. The private key, that sacred talisman, is both the gateway and the guardrail. The network recognises no hierarchy, no chain of command, no organisational chart. It acknowledges only the cryptographic proof that a given actor has the authority to move a given sum. This world makes perfect sense when the holder of the asset is a single person, accountable only to himself, and willing to bear the consequences of misplacing a device or forgetting a phrase upon which his wealth depends. A trifle risky, perhaps, but oh so thrilling! 🎢
