Hey! Totally understand the concern. Here’s some context:

We recently removed the Lightning feature from the app to stay focused on its core mission: secure, self-custodial Bitcoin savings. Lightning is still a promising technology, but the current self-custodial experience just wasn’t reliable enough for our users. We’re keeping an eye on it and plan to revisit it once it matures.

As for the face scan, it’s part of our effort to comply with the new EU regulation DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). To protect users from fraud and identity theft, we now require biometric verification, but we do this WITHOUT storing any biometric data.

We use Keyless, a privacy-preserving solution that creates a cryptographic key using your facial scan locally on your device. That data is NEVER stored by us or anywhere else )not on our servers, not in the cloud). It’s just a way to verify that you are you, while keeping your privacy intact.

Happy Bitcoin ATH, chads

We've come a long way

The Euro is dying.

Since its inception in 1999, the Euro has lost 40% of its value.

To put this into perspective: 1 Euro today can only purchase about 60% of what it could back in 1999.

#Bitcoin fixes this

BREAKING: #Bitcoin is at a 23% discount right now

Turns out central banks suck at their job.

Here's what you missed from this week:

🔹German authorities sell 6,500 confiscated #Bitcoin (ngmi)
🔹80% of central banks are bullish on gold (ngmi)
🔹Whales are stacking aggressively (gmi)
