What feature or element of crypto makes you the most excited/hopeful/grateful?

As the title says, what is it that you keeps you invested in crypto?

Is it hoping that one day you can secure your financial freedom? Do you enjoy taking ownership and control of your assets? Are you excited about being part of something you believe will change society?

Or is it something else entirely? It’d be great to hear what motivates you

For me, having had to have multiple phone calls with my bank to justify depositing my own earned income into exchanges and assure them I am not being coerced or misled … this has made me very grateful to be able to take custody of my own finances and assets, and not have to trust opaque institutions with opaque motives
