Does anyone have experience with Proton Wallet yet? What are the pros and considered you’ve seen? What’s your use case for storing bitcoin there?

    No matter what wallet you use, it better be self hosted. You must run your own node if you care about decentralization and privacy.

        It’s bad opsec to tell you what I personally use. My suggestion is to search for running your own bitcoin node.

    I doubt I ever use it. There are some niceties about it I guess like Send/Receive Bitcoin by Email.

    I imagine if you don’t know how to use bitcoin and you don’t have an online wallet, this is good to have. But honestly, if you’re already privacy minded, I don’t see why this is even a feature.
