Yeah. It's terrible. I feel like i got my foot in a bear trap.

I run two nodes, of the 83000 on the network.

These bellcurve dwellers are a sad lot.

You might have been able to talk yourself into custodial wallets being OK but not everyone agrees. If you don't like being around people you disagree with then yes, you should probably stay out of there.

I would stress that my viewpoint has much more nuance than that. I do not use custodial wallets (well very much... I try most everything). And i do not think they are the best choice for all people. AND I hope the people of El Salvador will begin to shift towards non-custodial lightning solutions since I think mostly they are using WoS so far.

I do not see that we can possibly "get rid of the banks" and have been making this point ad-nauseum for years. Us in here?? Yeah we won't need them. And interestingly neither will many of the people of El Salvador. But most people are going to NEED to trust others.

My wife is brilliant, but she has no time for me to explain how our multisig wallets work. I have beautiful instructions typed up in the vault for when the bus hits me. She trusts me. This is a good thing.

I *LOVE* being around people I disagree with. An easy example: You and I are falling on different sides of this argument, and I APPRECIATE the discussion. As much of a iconoclast as he was around here I quite enjoyed jbreher and miss him. But the signal to noise in /r/btc is mind numbing. I would give some ridiculous examples but it would be a waste of time.

It's narratives, narratives all the way down.
