Totally agree. For a noobie custodial UX is easiest.
But I live in the United States and Wallet of Satoshi (npub1hcw…h9rq) is no longer offered here. WoS decided to pull their app from the App Store instead of comply with KYC (or whatever regs it had to comply with). And I applaud them for that 🫡
At the birthday party I mentioned attending, we tried using Cash App, but the app required them to provide a government-issued ID to receive Bitcoin. And they didn’t want to do that.
So I had them install Phoenix Wallet.
I sent them $10 of Bitcoin on-chain (instead of via Lightning, because explaining Lightning and liquidity to a noobie at a birthday party was just too overwhelming for them).
