Why now? Because it's fun! I have USD in a bank account because a small portion of my money is used for low time preference activities.
It's. Fine.
"federated LN tools like satadress"
IDK about this. If you used your platform to talk about SOLUTIONS like this, that would be AWESOME! Could you tell us more about satadress? Maybe include info about satadress in all your future anti custodial posts?
Non custodial options are not "quite usable" when you can't receive zaps.
Have the zaps go to a custodial wallet, for now. It's fine.
I preach Phoenix when I can but it needs to a person who is prepared to deal with the gotchas.
Squirrel sushi. Mmmm
They ARE fine for small amounts! I still haven't seen any of you explain why they aren't.
"how do you think people are going to actually even learn about the self-sovereign path?"
We teach them! I've transitioned people from custodial to non custodial Bitcoin. Happens all the time. People need time to learn. And the tools need to actually be there for the use cases, which they are not yet for nostr. When bolt 12 comes along we'll tell everyone what's up.
I think "maintaining the ability to adapt" has limits. The shocks that hit the system COULD all be small enough to stay within those adaptation limits. Or not.
You gotta be kidding me

Fees are part of the existing goalpost.
I would love to learn more about blixt. I will dig in.
To not have onerous fees, you do
If you aren't smart about it in Phoenix you pay a lot of fees, and imho it wasn't well explained in the onboarding process when I started using Phoenix recently. Also, you can't receive zaps to Phoenix or any of the others you listed.
Could you drop a link or sketch out the answer because AFAIK that's not true (except for custodial wallets)
