I discovered that Bitcoin has destroyed the rule of the third party.

And yet, many businesses use custodial wallets (such as Coinbase) to receive bitcoin payments. Even if it's not mandatory, anymore, to use an intermediary for online transactions, we observe that most of the users haven't acknowledged its importance. We still see a significant number of merchants and customers who don't want to be responsible for their own money.

Yeah, it's the “ultimate” access, but what will make people respect that?

to add to this,
many businesses want to be custodial partner hubs. getting users to lock funds up into co-signed contracts where the user requires the consent and signature of their contracted partner to authorise fund movements.
one step down from that. they then want to use an altnet that has no blockchain or consensus to allow micropayments, which by their very nature does not have the same security as blockchains.
these naive users still want to pretend its "bitcoin" even when its a different network, a non blockchain network and where the units of measure are not even understood by the bitcoin network.

try to be very risk aware and cautious of people that promote these other networks as 'bitcoin'. and try to correct such people when they overhype their non blockchain offerings as 'bitcoin'
