Custodial Bitcoin is a Shitcoin.
Such a strawman that the shitcoiners use so people can market their shitcoins. Bitcoin does scale it just needs to scale through layers which is what is happening.
I have no issues using lightning and I wouldn’t consider myself a tech wizard. It’s not that hard and it continues to get easier (e.g., nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 allows you to run a self custodial lightning node on an iPhone).
Plenty of people working on alternative layer 2s that will complement and/or compete with lightning and liquid
Also nothing wrong with scaling through custodial solutions like the ETF or exchanges.
Again the key is we keep options open and available so everyone can self custody if they need or choose to do so
Discussion
I don’t disagree but you are delusional if you think people will not use custodial solutions
then what is the point.? might as well use paypal, works for purchases than WoS . Bitcoin exists for self custody trustless transactions. if that isn't going to be then fiat will surfice
Bitcoin exists to give people an option to opt out out of fiat. Some people will use custodial solutions and there is nothing wrong with that as long as people have the option to use Bitcoin in a sovereign manner and transact with privacy in a p2p setting
self custody maxis are just as delusional as bcashers
