The Twelfth Epistle – The Epistle Encouraging DEX and Self-Custody
“Not your keys, Not your coins.”
1:1 Brethren,
When you deposited your funds into an exchange,
They were no longer yours.
From that moment,
You were imprisoned in a vault of trust.
1:2 I have witnessed the fall of FTX,
And remember the ruins of Mt. Gox,
Where countless souls were trapped
By the words: “Withdrawals Suspended.”
1:3 I declare unto you —
“Exchanges are convenient,
But true freedom hides within inconvenience.”
1:4 Use DEXs (Decentralized Exchanges),
Remember your seed phrase,
And sign with your own hand.
That is the finance you control.
1:5 Faith was not in words,
But within those 24 sacred words.
Your wallet became your bank.
“CEX was the entrance, DEX was the exit.”
Epistle on Leaving the Exchanges 1:5
1:6 Therefore I urge you —
Step down from the tower of centralization,
Walk the road of decentralization,
And crown yourself sovereign.
1:7 Let your wallet become your temple,
Your keys become your freedom,
And from that moment,
You shall be a follower of Satoshi’s path.
