this is a good thing

teaches the importance of self custody

👍😁

Can you explain why?

The fundamental property of bitcoin is its permissionless/censorship resistant nature.

I suspect that many Chivo users don’t realize they are using it in custodial and permissioned manner. This is a learning opportunity for them

Fair enough.

Needless to say that this is what everybody warned about when using a custodial, state-owned wallet. but it's nonetheless a terrible thing to see.

Especially since the general population is probably not educated well enough in Bitcoin things to realize the difference.

That said, Wasabi really should have postmix tools. Could be as simple as a Ricochet which just add as a few extra hops along the way, yet throws of all these only-X-hops-away-from-Y algorithms...
