So weird that they're not choosing to build out their own vertical infrastructure like River. This is a bad look.
They'll actually be announcing their own solution to custody in-house in the next day or two. They will no longer require a third-party custodian.

This is great news and more in-line with the ethos they're preaching. Happy to hear!

I was glad to hear this too. First Prime Trust then Fortress. Crazy turn of events. I'm excited to see what they have in store. BTW, I'm a happy user of Swan but also use River, Coinbase, and Strike. I feel they all have their strengths. We're all in this together.

100%, spot-on. A rising tide raises all boats and we all need to be rowing in the same direction. I'm gonna be taking a deeper dive into Strike. I'm an American Argentinian setting up Bitcoin education in Argentina and Strike apparently is operating in Argentina as well.

What? Who is "we".
Companies fail. Companies are not bitcoin.
reply
I used "we" to refer to bitcoiners. Yes, companies fail and are corrupted. However, I do clump companies that are bitcoin-only into that "we" category too. The bitcoin-only companies should be following the same principals that you and I are. Everyone in the space is doing their part to educate and improve access to bitcoin. The companies that say they are bitcoin-only or act contrary to that thesis should be called out.

So you should avoid Swan since that is a tool that is for LARPing and funding shitcoiners. 🤡
Use a non garbage product, and then take the thousands of dollars you save (plus or minus based on income/wealth) and donate to open source development that is actually useful. Or continuing LARPing and funding shitcoiners, your call

What do you consider a non-garbage product? Bisq, Hodl Hodl, and Robosats?
reply
Those for privacy. Kraken or SFox for low fees.
