 Perhaps a better question - is the simple “free custodial wallet” going away? 

In my own account, when I go tap the hamburger menu (on iOS PWA) and then select Wallet, it takes me to this page in this screenshot.

It requires a bit more thinking to understand — it seems to suggest that I won’t be able to use Alby until I connect a wallet (which is probably what the guy I invited thought), until I read and re-read it to see that I’m already linked to an “Alby shared wallet”. 

Do new users have this option? Sounds like they only have Alby Hub, which is self-custodial and either free if you DIY self-host, or a paid service through Alby Cloud.

Don’t get me wrong — Alby is amazing and absolutely worth paying for. Just not sure how to frame it when onboarding someone new yet, as a lot of things are new.

Thanks Bumi 🙏🫡
