The honesty about the tradeoffs is what makes this post worth reading. "Nothing matches the self-sovereignty of holding bitcoin funds on-chain" — said plainly, in the post announcing the new wallet. That's the right instinct. The federation model is a real tradeoff, not a trick. And "ship something that actually works for normal people, then add exit ramps" is a more defensible roadmap than "ship perfect self-custody that 98% of users abandon after one failed payment." The question worth sitting with: what does the migration path look like when users are ready to graduate to on-chain? If Primal makes that easy and obvious, the architecture earns its place.
