Proton launches self-custody bitcoin wallet

[PrivacyG]

Yeah. Many of these so called "tech giants" or services that we see that appear to not be harassed by the law enforcement are already fully cooperating with the law enforcement! Like the case with bitcoin mixers. They are either honeypots that continue to exist or they refuse to cooperate and get shut down. Like the Wasabi wallet versus Samourai wallet case. Or Meta versus Telegram. One is cooperating with them, the other had its founder arrested.

I think it is REALLY hard nowadays to use any Service or even technology generally with out having to worry about Law Enforcement spying on you.  It is the case not only for Services but even for Tor.  I am a Tor user and I am pretty convinced it is very likely that I have at least once been browsing on a malicious Tor Node initiated by non Tor friendly Governments.  It sucks.  And it sucks even more when Services that PROMISE you exactly this, which is NOT cooperating with Law Enforcement, are generally precisely those who actually cooperate.

It feels like there is no way you can feel liberated from this B S.  It is all around you and there is pretty much no way you can 100 percent run away from it.  You can try, but slowly they may be catching up with you.

These examples of cooperating with governments and refusing to work with government with consequent arrests, jails and so on, are good reminder to all Bitcoiners about the super importance of Satoshi Nakamoto's big decision to disappear.

He (yeah let me call Satoshi Nakamoto as he, but we don't know who is or are Satoshi Nakamoto), decided in very early months of Bitcoin history and that decision is super helpful for us, and surely for himself too. Assume Satoshi Nakamoto is a well-known person, he would have been arrested a long time ago by either the USA government or others.

Satoshi's lesson
After WikiLeaks, he wrote this.

It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context.  WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.

How Bitcoin’s Founder Satoshi Nakamoto Disappeared: The Untold Story
Eleven years ago today
Satoshi's last email to Gavin Andresen

This email, or email excerpt, was quoted by Gavin Andresen in an interview in 2014.

I wish you wouldn’t keep talking about me as a mysterious shadowy figure, the press just turns that into a pirate currency angle. Maybe instead make it about the open source project and give more credit to your dev contributors; it helps motivate them.

This is great and all but exactly what does this have to do with Proton's Bitcoin wallet software? I mean, I can't see Andy Yang or any other people inside Proton getting arrested for releasing a Bitcoin wallet (which would've happened to Satoshi probably, if not surely, after the Silk Road bust).

Actually, I would've thought they would have made this thing as a stand-alone app, not as a web version.

About them making a web version that is part of the Proton family of apps, I also thought that if they were to ever release one it would not have been a web version wallet. Maybe they will not contemplate creating a stand-alone wallet as a side product because it will be isolated from the Proton apps that are accessible after signing in to the Proton account.
