ecash is great but it's identical in trust issues as a bank
i'm not gonna trust a custodian any more than a bank, and the bank, that's why i run a bitcoin node
xapo just emailed me the other day to tell me their bitcoin/lightning enabled service annual fee is to rise to 1000 USD in september
they say that if you hodl 2 bitcoins in their account you get a 150USD annual fee
so i save 0.7% on fees if i risk 120k with them, right
uh, no, i'll keep my node running thanks
if i manage to push it to even half a bitcoin i'll have stamped metal cold keys next, what thet fuck kind of cocaine are these people sniffing?
