I can’t have bitcoin on Coinbase and then open my sparrow wallet to see my coins. If we’re comparing it to bitcoin I think it’s more analogous to running your own node or using someone else’s. Or using Breez vs WoS.

of course no analogy will match exactly otherwise it wouldn't be an analogy but I'm fine with yours too just tell me what will happen when primal get a court order from turkey to censor someone
