I’m retiring my usage of the word non-custodial and replacing it with self-custodial.
I don’t fully understand it but I very much love and appreciate this meme. 
Throwback to a 2015 design I'm still proud of. 
Exploring Bitcoin UX history and found 'Piper Wallet' from a 2013 Bitcoin Talk post. It's a tiny Linux computer with a printer and button. Press it, and it generates a public/private key pair, then prints the keys with QR codes.

Very cool to hear Pieter Wuille discussing miniscript and the possibilities it could unlock back in 2019. Tune in at the 25 min mark.
Deeply inspired by the overwhelmingly positive response to the #Bitcoin discourse at the Oslo Freedom Form from human rights activists worldwide, including those from Nicaragua & Venezuela. No need to convince them of Bitcoin's value - they grasp it intuitively, they've used it.
Great session with #[1] at the Oslo Freedom Forum. Discussing the current Apple threats to #[2]. 
Anyone is Oslo this week?

Every month or so I think about this video randomly, for no reason at all. I go back and watch it. It's one of my favorite videos on the internet.
No coiner friend: “How serious are you about this #bitcoin thing?”
Me: “100%”
Today I reached out to a few lightning wallets with very different models for a brief UX interview. I want to speak with devs about their engineering / design decisions and trade offs. I will be open sourcing and sharing my insights as soon as they're ready.
I flourish in the lag time.
