If the only solution for Bitcoiners to have private payments is custodians (be it e-cash, Fedimints, etc. as is all the rage) then Bitcoin will simply be dead for me. Feels like the ultimate cop-out.

Custody is the line in the sand that cannot be crossed. Custody not only opens up immense risk for loss of funds, it also makes these tools far less resilient to adversarial environments.

Can "they" stop every Bitcoiner from keeping 12 words safe? No.

Can "they" stop a few popular mints from operating? Absolutely.

Proper shampoo and conditioner containers open from the bottom now. That way when they get low, the product pools near the opening while it is sitting there and still comes out easily, rather than the user having to struggle like a fool to get the remaining product out of a container with the opening on the top and the product pooled on the bottom.

So the fact that the vast majority of containers still open from the top seems idiotic to me. Why don’t they all open from the bottom, ever since someone figured out the right way to do this?

Anyway, I save these types of important posts for Nostr.
