Now that we have a better grasp of how wallets function for crypto assets, we need to understand the inextricable link between decentralization, self-custody, and security. In the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency, no bank holds and secures your funds. You are the bank. As a result, you rely on varied levels of security based on the context of the usage of funds.
A real-world example of this concept is the difference between a wallet you carry in your pocket and a bank vault. Obviously, the money kept in a wallet is less secure than money stored in a bank vault, but the sacrificed security of funds is offset by increased convenience. To reduce the risk, a nominal amount of a person’s total wealth is carried in their pocket. The same principle applies to crypto assets.
