Yes, the Spark dude is extra scammy and jerky because that's the Meta/Libra dude. Was even too scammy for US Congress - the palace of professional scammers. But whatevs. That doesn't even matter.

Didn't know that. Is important context.

Explain what you mean.

Just to not get overly righteous about stuff in Bitcoin. Because even the "gold standard self custody" solution that all the maxis were hyping turned out not to be.

So you prefer to be scammed then? Because I think recommending something and warning about something are different things altogether.

My question would be: is k00b's disclaimers not sufficient? He explicitly says you should treat it as custodial. So why layer on extra hate on top of that.

I've said it more than once today that the disclaimers are good. I don't know if they're good enough because I personally didn't have to be convinced to not use that option. If they rug and no one cries then it worked. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Am I layering on hate though? I've been doing my best all day not to. I'm not going to use it. I don't recommend anyone to use it. If you use it anyway, I hope you get to keep your sats without any trickery or insane withdrawal fees.
