The horror 😱
France is where Ledger comes from.
This is just a private bank offering BTC services.
Booooooo!!! 👎
I think the story is more about it being the first just further normalizing.
Whether it’s good for bitcoin or not. 🤷🏻♂️
I think it's good. Bitcoin services are attractive and they provide private banks with a competing model to CBDCs.
Customers are not necessarily people.
It could be a CFO, an accountant, a government agency, a trustee, a treasurer for a 4-H club.
Yes. But my question was “WILL the French be allowed to self-custody?”
Note the future tense. My concern is that offerings like this will capture ₿ within the banking system, which would be antithetical to Satoshi’s original purpose for it.
Well, hard to stop.
I agree. It’s unfortunately difficult for people to read an 8 page white paper, or recognize that custodial solutions are nothing more than promises to perform.
