Never Trust 💩 Wallet!

it feels that anything that has the keyword crypto or bitcoin in their app description, will be removed from all app stores, ios, android... at least android lets you install apps from any source, but on iOS, it only allows apps from the store right? why would anyone use iOS?
reply
Because most people are normies, and even if you orange pill someone today, it may take some time for them to actually understand everything they need to do.
We're also looking at an entire generation that's hooked on iOS thanks to peer pressure.
(If you're asking why anyone fully on board with BTC would use iOS, there's no good answer.)
reply
Most people just want to be bitcoiners AND live a normal life. This does not include going full commando paranoia and switching to an obscure degoogled self assembled phone.
reply
Normal Life? to be able to install the apps I want in my device should be normal.
reply
Normal just means embracing the psychological warfare of advertising companies instead of being sane.
For example, people who say "sideload" instead of "install app".
"Oh you put curtains over your windows what creepy paranoid freaks" That's how the brainrot populace sounds like sometimes.

I think there's a middle ground, though. You can degoogle a phone with graphene or lineage or something else and even still use Google apps (just sandboxed). The phone can still be a standard Google or Samsung device. Or you can take a reasonable amount of care with how you use your standard Android (or even iOS) device and what you put on it.
And yeah, it also depends on how much one's interacting with the system -- someone just hodling may not care as much as someone actively sending and receiving a lot and concerned about tracking.

I'm an old bitcoiner and I have used both Android and iOS. iOS is better than stock Android in privacy terms, but it is much worse in freedom in general, all the time depending on Apple's fascism deciding what to ban that day. Anyway, most Bitcoin wallets still work well on iOS. How much would they last, I don't know.

Lol don't you mean binance wallet
reply
Haha.
reply
Whoa. Not a fan of it, but when I was shitcoining, it felt like the one of the bigger mobile wallet out there (other than Coinbase's).
reply
I don't care... 🤷

I've left using Shitcoin wallets after a few days when I signed up here on SN.
I now despise them. I used them only because I didn't know that there are many bitcoin only options available.
reply
Fact check: not entirely true (the shitcoin part is, though, LOL)

You can export your seed to another wallet if you remember too.
When I was shitcoining I would roll from Trust to a couple others which taught me about the keys verses custody. It also taught me after extensive spreadsheet work that I was waisting time and energy on yield, staking and other crap...
But you can take your key phrase and go to Atomic, Sparrow (Bitcoin only) and some others.
Get out. Consolidate and focus on Bitcoin. Run your own node.
