What is a Bitcoin wallet? A complete guide | Proton
Check out our simple explainer on the basics of Bitcoin wallets, how they work, and the features of different types.
It makes me sick that I am locked into Proton Unlimited at the moment because simplelogin integration is only available through that tier and I have already made tons of aliases with my own custom domain using Pass.
But if I could I would definitely downgrade to a tier that only uses Email, Pass, and SL because they are definitely overinflating and bloating Unlimited with random things at this point instead of fixing and improving things like Drive. If they had supported Monero instead of Bitcoin I would feel different.
I was thinking about switching to Proton but I'll probably just stick with Tutanota now.
Proton's users are probably mostly technical people. They really failed to read the room on this one.
Or they didn't and social media are overreacting as usual, because hating AI and blockchain is trendy. Bitcoin is super helpful for those who are under the scrutiny of authoritarian regimes. These people are part of their user base. Not everything is about tech bros and buzzwords.
If that's the case then perhaps they should have implemented Monero (or something similar), which was designed for, and as far as I know, still provides both anonymity and privacy. Neither of those are properties of BTC.
Or they could have not done this since there are many other wallets that can be used without a paid account that can easily be blocked by such a regime.
Seriously, if you live under the scrutiny of an authoritarian regime, please do not use Bitcoin for anything that might get you into trouble. It is neither anonymous nor private.
No thank you.
