Again, it's all about tradeoffs, not ad hominum attacks. I don't know what W-BTC is, but I look at Liquid BTC the same way. Actually, I believe liquid BTC has better trade-offs than Wallet of Satoshi.

What do you think about Fedimints? Are those shitcoins too because they are non-custodial?

What ad hominem?

All the above are paper bitcoin withtrusted thirdparties. Custodial tradeoffs don't make sense to me because they destroy the very purpose of what bitcoin is. If yoi don't take self custody, then it has no advantage to other forms of money other than it is more inneficient.

If these third parties don't make sense for small transactions, what does?

Should everyone use a 3-of-5 multisig for a 10,000 sat UTXO?

I don't claim to have all the answers. I just don't compromise with shitty ones.

I think the Uncle Jim model, while not perfect (nothing is perfect) is better than Wallet of Satoshi.

Being better than WoS is a really low bar 😂

Yeah, but it would at least decentralize the lightning network more. I can't get my own channels to work without opening a channel with WOS.

To be fair, fedimints are kind of a shitcoin, but with decent trade-offs that hopefully keep them honest.
