As much as I love the idea of no middle-man, I can't expect a majority of people to get used to that, and I don't think I will either when it comes to storage. The idea of keeping all my crypto in hardware wallets in my immediate possession freaks me out. I try to spread it out as much as possible just in case something happens. Getting rid of the middle-man for transactions though, fuck yeah!
Welcome back BTW! I'll be moving next week, though it's across the street, not across the country.
