Price is going down because we have too many miners.

The Bitcoin custody model is a delicate set of tradeoffs and reducing it to "selling out users" is wrong and completely unhelpful. Everyone wants self-custody but the reality is noobs aren't ready to pay for it. The question is how close can we get while maintaining noob friendly UX View quoted note →

Congratulations Gold Bugs, you were right!

When you're all in on Bitcoin you can't "buy the dip" you just have to try not to "spend the dip". Vacuum cleaner broke during the dip? House going to get a bit dirty for a while.

Spark has usability and cost benefits and small custodial risk, and provides for unilateral exit, but spark addresses kill user privacy. Cashu provides for excellent privacy but has significant cusodial risk. Question: Is it possible to put Cashu on top of Spark custody?

"is something like an ETF or bitcoin futures too antithetical to Bitcoin’s ethos? It’s completely antithetical. Because what you’re talking about is centralized custodian holders who give you a fraction of the rights that having your own keys gives you. You have exposure to the monetary fluctuation. You don’t have any of the autonomy, empowerment, voting ability, participation ability, authority, and independent validation of transactions that you have as someone who holds the keys and uses bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency directly."
