We are at the stage where Bitcoiners will rug themselves and those who they are onboarding to the custodial wallets ! Very sad that I have to deal and explain the basic principals of bitcoin and self custody to those who have been for a while in this space ! Also I stopped treating people a smart if they hold bitcoin !

Mine is on WOS.

What should I use instead? That has same lightning functionality and little to no fees.

Phoenix breez

Both great.

Your thoughts on Blixt?

Also did you see Zeus will soon have a mobile self-custody version that doesn’t need to be connected to a home node?

Blixt,mutiny are also self custodial wallets but they are in the beta testing!

Zeus also will follow the same way by allowing you to run lightning node on your phone and self custody.

Are these IOS available? Can be used with Damus?

Phoenix is on iOS and works with zapping.

To be clear, you can’t zap on Damus notes anymore (unless you set up Zapplepay), but you can zap on user profiles

While the risks you mention are very real, I feel like onboarding is nuanced and context-dependent.

I started out with Bitcoin from Coinbase, but now it’s stamped in steel. Except for a few thousand sats on WoS and Alby for zapping, and a few in Phoenix for RoboSats bonds ⚡️😉

As long as you feel a sense of responsibility for the people you onboard (and live up to that responsibility), it’s not all bad.

I Hold Bitcoin though in a bad wallet. I don’t know what to do and what is safe. 😒

Nuns custodial wallet is your safe choice ! Try phoenix, breez

Coinkite Coldcard. While it feels like a big step up, there are great tutorials out there and it’s surprisingly easy.

I thought he was asking about lightning one 😁

Oh – he might be. 😅

Not a lightning one I have Satoshis wallet for that. (Is that also ok?)

The cold storage yeah coldcard, Jade, seedsigner is the way to go.

If we are talking about lightning I would suggest to use none custodial wallets such as phoenix Breez, zeus will soon offer a lightning node on your phone as well.

What do you mean bad wallet?
