Capping custody sounds like a road to more pain, as often, after one requirement comes the next, and then Bitcoin NgU really screws with limits because those are always expressed in fiat.
So pre-empting away custody was and still is imho the only sane move. The above isn't criticism - I think that ultimately many among us feel kind of helpless in this situation right here, right now, because there are no silver bullets.
if I ceded earlier
Not long ago you asked me, "Do you know what makes you want hard mode?". Now is the time to return that question:
Do you know what makes you want hard mode? <3
Doing hard things is a shortcut to being useful because most people don't want to do hard things. I want to be useful. I want to be proud of myself. I want other people to have an easier time being proud of themselves and being useful. I want to help The Human Project succeed and I'm too dumb to find easy ways to do that.
Or I'm a masochist and that's how I rationalize it.
Indeed. CCs are not the final state and Spark is not the final state. They are placeholders until the solution scarcity is resolved.
If I weren't prioritizing SN's longevity, and my vision of bitcoin, I would bring back a capped custodial wallet. It would be easier and, if I ceded earlier, I would've saved myself two years of work (and all the other costs of doing something this hard while catching all the normal arrows of trying to do something nice for people).
