BTC meetup tonight 🤙⚡

Replying to

Attended a local «crypto wallet security» talk today.

Summary:

* Bitcoin bad because of energy usage

* CBDCs good because of efficient processing

* Bitcoin blockchain good for issuing diplomas

* Ethereum good because of environment issues

I feel like I lost a couple of braincells today

Everyone saying custodial zaps are okay or that UX is too hard is wrong. We can do better and shouldn't settle for less.

Will have a PoC version ready later this week that should allow any self-custodial wallet to have a lightning address with minimal trust assumptions.

Solutions, baby. This is the way. 🤙⚡

#Bitcoin is decoupling from the legacy system and most people are unaware.

OK, all you "it's just for small payments" custodial Lightning apologists.

I would love to hear nuanced arguments that refute these claims:

1. Adopting custodial wallets now "for small amounts" will lead to slower growth and adoption for proper, approachable self-sovereign setups, both now and in the future

2. Using custodial wallets provide zero privacy from the custodian, w/ zaps tying your nostr identity directly to any other payments you make as a result

3. Once better options are out there for self-sovereign LN, people won't switch because they'll be fully entrenched in the convenience of custodial wallets

4. Often, using custodial LN wallets isn't even using LN at all, as it's just shifting around numbers in a database (Strike>Strike, WoS>WoS, etc.)

5. If the majority of users are adopting custodial LN wallets, there will be far less funding and social pressure for better self-sovereign setups, proper privacy tools (BOLT 12, alias SCIDs, route blinding, etc.) due to so few actual potential users

1. How many self sovereign Bitcoiners started on Coinbase or another custodial exchange. ALMOST ALL OF US. I submit that onboarding people leads to MORE self soverign adoption in the long run. Evidence: on chain Bitcoin.

2. Lightning & zap privacy is abysmal. Zap privacy is barely increased, if at all, by using non custodial wallets.

3. See #1

4. you can sweep it. Why not tell people to install Phoenix and sweep to it? (God, I wish we were having THAT discussion right now. Please can we pivot to telling everyone something actionable? Please?)

5. Some of these things will be adopted by custodial wallets. Also, self sovereignty and convenience are linked competitions. The most popular wallet is the one that does both best.

I do talk about these solutions all the time, and in this very thread linked out to entirely self-sovereign solutions.

Will add to it for these easier onboarding tools.

"In this very thread"

We must have a relay mismatch because I'm not seeing that.

When bashing custodial solutions, an alternative (that can handle zaps) should be front and center in the discussion. Otherwise the complaints are sound and fury signifying nothing.
