The #Bitcoin normie friendly wallet still hasn’t been invented.

There are a tone of hot wallets for phones that could not be easier.

If you mean cold wallets then maybe, although if you can run a smart TV remoter, you can learn any of the cold wallets.

I wouldn’t consider any onchain wallet normie friendly, neither cold nor hot.

And don’t get me started on anything lightning non-custodial.

So I think we still have some work to do.

What does “normie friendly” even mean?

Means they must not to ask you any question to receive or send. And you don’t have to explain anything. Or the bare minimum.

What bitcoin wallets you know that ask you questions to receive or send? Are you talking about exchanges?

I meant the users. Like if you gave your aunt a wallet to receive Bitcoin, will she be able to operate it without asking you a million questions?

The best developer hasn't been born yet.

Coinbase lol

IKR 🤣

Primal is pretty normies friendly

True. Custodial though.

I'm not sure we can expect a self custodial normie friendly wallet at this juncture. Lightning will never be able to provide that purely because of how the protocol works. There MUST liquidity retraints for lightning. The only way to abstract it is custodial.

Yeah, I understand the technicalities.

That’s why I say, the normie friendly wallet hasn’t been built yet.

Someone will figure it out.
