“I don’t care about normies using Bitcoin/nostr” makes you no better than a custodian

but instead of providing a service, you turn DIY skills into elitism

if no one cares, the banks/big tech keep all the power

A good observation. Little by little we have to teach people to stand their ground. Because if the big money can control it it will damage part of bitcoins decentralization.

It's a difficult problem. Because especially in large quantities self-custody becomes risky albeit a different set of risks than counterparty.

banks do have a purpose, but today, they are involved in too much

younger generations will see keeping all of your sats with a custodian as strange. It’s an extra step that only serves the lowest and the highest balances
