About this listen

Is self-custody still the gold standard in crypto, or has it become too complex for everyday users? In this episode, Lianna Adams is joined by Alina Tielnova from Everstake to explore where the line falls between control and convenience—and whether the promise of true ownership is still realistic in today’s ecosystem.


Together, they unpack:

  • Whether users genuinely want control or just someone to trust
  • How platforms use the “non-custodial” label—and when it’s just good marketing
  • The trade-offs between higher yields and self-sovereignty
  • Why UX might be the silent killer of self-custody
  • What regulators still get wrong about the non-custodial space


Whether you're a self-custody purist or leaning toward letting go, this conversation dives into the real questions shaping crypto’s future.
