 Even Alby's custodial side isn't safe if the USG comes knocking and asking about US users 🙃

  Just need to get physically away from the US but still be able to reach the US citizens via the world of web-protocol. It is called, “Al-bba-no (= fuk any regulators),” in Korean words.

 That's one option if someone is willing to take that risk. WoS is based in Australia and they made the decision that that isn't far away enough

 If WoS had operated on web-base, it wouldn’t have shut itself down from any app-stores, because it would’ve been on web-based.

No matter what countries people live in, it is the people’s decision to connect WoS or not.

 Eh, but then they'd likely enforce a GeoIP block.

And even then, they could be targeted because a GeoIP block can be bypassed.

Binance & BitMEX tried it and both got burnt.

 Ok. Then self-custodial wallet has to open a channel with a KYC-requiring LN server. Will it be no problem at all?
