Really sad. Bitcoin has lost not only real Cypherpunks with the Samourai case, it has lost its only working privacy solution.

To be fair here. A lot depends on the fee environment of Bitcoin. If the fees are low like we see it now Bitcoin paymebts are growing.

We would be much further ahead with Bitcoin if everyone would focus on non-custodial rather than custodial solutions which are the dead for self sovereignty.

The real test is the to use Bitcoin in your daily life. Try to decrease your fiat spends and increase your Bitcoin / Monero spends. Stacking is nice but not the real usecase of Bitcoin which you can find the whitepaper - P2P ecash system.

To add here: Lightning for services which don't want to use custodial garbage is nearly impossible - if you don't want to lock money.

The problem with such services it, that the most of them close the channel after 30 days if it is not really used. I had this case twice. Nearly no one uses LN for paymens, if a service want to offer Lightning payments they loose money here.
