Question to the Bitcoin wizards out there. Why do I need to sync the entire Bitcoin blockchain if all I want is to create a new wallet and receive in that wallet? Can't the deamon be syncing in the background while my new wallet is good to go?

There seems to be a tradeoff between convenience and full verification.

There seems to be technical debt that blocks devs from modernizing the code.

I could never have the patience to work on a project with such a pace.

Smallest bugfixes or optimizations take years?? to pass through the dev cycle
