💡 Crypto 13:🤝 Who Holds Your Keys? Custodial vs Non-Custodial

This is THE most important concept in crypto ownership! 👑

Custodial (They hold the keys)
• Examples: Binance Exchange, Coinbase, PayPal
• They control your private keys
• You have an "IOU" - they promise to give you coins
• Pros: Easy recovery if you forget password, customer support
• Cons: They can freeze your account, get hacked, or go bankrupt

Non-Custodial (You hold the keys)
• Examples: MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet
• YOU control your private keys
• You are your own bank
• Pros: Complete control, no one can freeze funds
• Cons: Lose keys = lose coins forever! No recovery!

The Crypto Mantra:
"Not your keys, not your coins" - if you don't control the private keys, you don't truly own the crypto! 🔑

Choose based on your needs - convenience (custodial) or sovereignty (non-custodial). Or use both! 🤔
