A bit different imo. 

If you have a balance on custodial lightning and lose it, you can just resume where you were with a different wallet minus some sats. 

If someone abuses your keys or even leaks unintentionally, you lose your entire social history and have to start over. 

Personally, I don’t care if I start over with 0 followers. My biggest issue is that I won’t be able to reach the same people I’ve built connections with. But clearly other people care a lot. 

 It's hugely different. One is money and one is social. Your bank account isn't the same as your Twitter account. 

 If you think about what we’re building here it’s of immense value to a user to have complete control over their identity. Sovereign identity at the protocol level. You don’t just piss that away. 

 Agree. Banks accounts are disposable and social identities are harder to replace, especially if you have no control over it.
