It's the users who tend to fail when they don't utilise self-custody. Bitcoin was designed to be used with a sender and one or more recipients without middlemen. That's the most secure way to transact. Just because some people have opted to trust middlemen with their funds, doesn't mean the concept as a whole fails. It just means those users have chosen to weaken their own security.
quoting for posterity of the guy that has been ignorantly promoting that everyone should offramp theur value security to a sub bridge network that requires middlemen routers and custodian partners to function
maybe topics like these will wake him up to his hypocrisy and he finally realises the failures of his own promotions, via reading his own words back to himself
the biggest failure are of these ignorant users that promote that using the bitcoin network is bad, flawed and then they promote actual flawed systems of middlemen as the 'solution'
.. asking for a third party simply means you'd require to ask permission before making a transaction and this person dictates how you spend your Bitcoin.
