providing an even better option that gets non-custodial Bitcoin into the hands of many more people while extending the things that we can build on top of Bitcoin.

I'm kinda confused, and this is low-key contradicting itself. It mentions non-custodial solutions right here, but then you're talking about having to trust them. Run that back for me, please?

@justin_shocknet has been using the term "trustodial" to describe things like Ark and Spark, which isn't a bad description. It's kinda like they don't have custody of your coins if you stay online or if the person who sent you the coins isn't colluding with them.

Seems like there's no free lunch in the world of trust-minimization.

Yea trust-minimization is a weasel word, anyone using that in a presentation is automatically scamming... things are either trusted or they're not.

Trustodial is how they think they're going to loophole the regulator, the problem with that is that they're scamming the unsophisticated user (and probably investors) in the process.
