Oddbean new post about login | logout No. It sounds more appropriate for self-custody maximalists who run a Lightning node at home.
Oh but yes. After you and yours. 🌹 https://i.nostrimg.com/81dfc0839fa27777ce25ff9c197278d6db8e7f2f7575ce5e179053959adc7c5c/file.jpeg
And how a human right, @ED ?
Latest beta on Zeus allows for a self-custody by running a node on your phone. Not saying it's ready for widespread usage (that's why it's in beta), but at some point the value-proposition will became a question of "Why not?". And self-custody maximalism will have nothing to do with the service.
At this point I’d rather trade custodial risks on my small WoS wallet than pay the fees on Zeus. I would probably reconsider if I carried large balances or needed to rely on larger txn sizes for a business or something more serious.
That's fair. My thinking is how close we are to a KYC-centric experience and how hard it is to reverse. Tools and the lightning experience has rapidly improved over the last 5 years, and Bitcoin's in general over the past 14, and self-custody is becoming increasingly a better, safer, easier option - And while I think we've haven't reached a point of no return, if it even exists, it could be close. As an example, personally, it was easier for me to read a couple of wiki pages about Bisq and set myself up on there than the thought of having to sign up for some exchange and going all that it entails.
