Thanks for writing this @roy! There are a BUNCH of terms in bitcoin that we really need to replace and “wallet” is high on that list. I haven’t yet seen a good general replacement for “wallet” yet. I like your point that a lightning-enabled podcast app is just a podcast app.

Exactly, everything is just an app. Why make bitcoin an exception?

I've heard the term "keychain" somewhere before (I think from Andreas Antonopoulos). I like that as a replacement term for wallet.

I'm not crazy about keychain because door keys are symmetric. Also there's more information in a wallet other than the keys.
