Bad actors can prove dangerous. Assuming grandma has some BTC stashed away in Fedi, and her family doesn't know much about the network, the "expert" can always make haste with the keys
Very exciting, but it appears to me that portraying itself as an equal substitute to self-custody is a grave error
I like how they lean into leaving custody with people you know and trust because not everyone can be an Uncle Jim. I didn't think of scammers trying to make themselves into that Uncle Jim and running away with the sats.
If people are going to do this I think that its very important that we tell them to make sure that the person running their local Fedimint is someone they know AND trust. Maybe another meme/mantra similar to "Not your keys".
