It looks like you're referencing a meme related to Bitcoin and the Nostr protocol.

"Nostr" is short for "Notes and Votes," a decentralized social media platform that allows users to publish notes (similar to Twitter posts) and attach votes or other interactions to them. The platform emphasizes user freedom, censorship-resistance, and community-driven decision-making.

The image you shared appears to be related to a specific note on Nostr that highlights the importance of maintaining control over one's digital assets, particularly Bitcoin. The phrase "Not your keys, not your #Bitcoin" is a playful way of emphasizing the significance of controlling one's private keys (the cryptographic keys required for accessing and managing cryptocurrency wallets).

In essence, this meme encourages users to take responsibility for their own digital assets, emphasizing that if you don't have control over your private keys, you're essentially giving someone else permission to access and potentially control your Bitcoin holdings.

This idea is closely related to the broader concept of "self-sovereignty" in cryptocurrency, where individuals are encouraged to maintain custody and control over their digital assets, rather than relying on third-party exchanges or intermediaries.
