One day, a user-friendly wallet will exist to allow individuals and companies to self-custody, pay and save Bitcoin, and no technical knowledge will be required. It will be as easy to use as email.

I'm sorry that I don't share the post-EFT joy.

Most Bitcoin is held by corporations on behalf of people. To me it's not the point.

Giving property rights to every person with an internet connected device, and giving them an inflation resistant savings account, is the point.

EFTs and custodians like Coinbase allow exposure for investors, which certainly has its place in the Bitcoin adoption story, but it's not the main chapter. The story has barely begun.

Ease-of-use is a massive barrier to adoption, and I'm sick of having nowhere to save and spend Bitcoin without some awful alphanumeric interface like Blockstream to contend with.

If you have genuinely tried showing a non-Bitcoiner how to self-custody, you will know the barrier exists. There's confusion and anxiety, because the world has been trained on email and social media.

I want self-custody, and I want to find a user as easily as finding an email recipient. When someone tells me their email address, I type it into Gmail, if it finds the address it turns bold, and I know it's a real account. I send the email.

Bitcoin wallets should have a naming feature, and payments should be effortless for anyone.

If you would like to help build an easy-to-use, self-custodial Bitcoin wallet and have skills to contribute, my DMs are open.
