You can still get rugged by a federated mint. Federation offers a false sense of complete security. Your key point is valid though - bitcoin allows self sovereign "savings", for which custodial solutions are no better than traditional banking.

I agree, and I am not under the illusion that fedarated models offer complete security. But I wild be willing to store much more value as L-BTC as I would in Cashu or Wallet of Satoshi for example. Even when I run my own lightning node, I can rug myself. ๐Ÿ˜
