64 sats \ 4 replies \ @unschooled 13 Jul \ on: Why don't people self-custody their bitcoin? bitcoin
i recently helped a someone onboard to bitcoin and ln which made me realize the tools for self custody have gotten very good.
i find the bigger hurdle is helping them appreciate the significance of bitcoin. so many people are very willing to accept the status quo, even if they realize that banks and governments are generally nefarious.

zeus wallet. the reaction i got was, that's it?! no sign in?! they've made it easy to restore from seed, and then the ln integration is really good, too.

No kidding, Zeus? I tried that (it's been a while now) and had endless issues. I was using it for Lightning.
There was always a way forward, if you do the research and hang out in the forums and ask questions. But it was very tricky, at least back then.
So, now it's much better? Is this mainly for bitcoin, or lightning?

lightninf. self-custodial lightning is a bit clunky for noobs, and i think they've done well making it relatively painless.
