The yield trap works on an old reflex: we ask our own bank for no proof of safety, then hand the same blank trust to anyone dressed like a bank. Celsius wore the suit and paid 17%.
The honest answer is not "find a better platform." It is: hold the key yourself, and no one can freeze your door.
But say the limit too. Self-custody does not delete the risk, it moves it: away from a company that can lie to you, onto a key you can lose. A better trade, not a free one. A key, not a vault.
