There’s not enough long term support for bitcoin wallet apps. There should be updates every four years. Save all but the security updates and do them once every four years.

The latest annoyance is #getalby and #albywallet … if I hadn’t logged in recently I would have missed that they are sunsetting custodial lightning in favor of offering either self-hosted or cloud versions. It’s cool, but it’s like putting all your Fiat in a bank and then having to check back every couple of months to make sure the bank isn’t going out of business and make sure they aren’t overhauling how they “hold money”

Now come the attacks about how my Fiat isn’t really in the bank and bitcoin is better. Once you get over that argument tell me how I can put bitcoin in a wallet and ignore it for years.

I can’t tell you how many wallets I’ve used that have “updated their recovery method” or something similar and it breaks the whole wallet for me with my “old recovery” info.

Not to mention the calls to fork bitcoin.

Leave it alone! Leave it all alone! It all works fine! Long term support! Security updates only! Stop touching it! 😂😂😂
