I did a quick purchase test of $2. Coinbase wants .24 cents for a fee, cash app only asked for .06.

I was hoping this was similar to P2P purchases, it’s not, and I see no reason to use this over the cash app for buying btc from an exchange.

Thank you for your response though.✌🏻

Because Will has a big mouth.

Imagine that. Now just keep your mouth shut and you’ll be fine.

No more than government efficiency. 🤣

Depends on what you’re looking for, Nostr is only associated with bitcoin because of that zapping nonsense. Photography seems to have a major following here along with animal lovers and their constant cat/dog pics. 😝

Just start checking hashtag feeds, I think only Damus offers that.

Beautiful, very tranquil.

If you used it, you would know. I mean that genuinely, not being a smartass.

From their additional encryption option for your backups, to their “hide my email” option, which creates a random email address that forwards to your real one. One of my favorite privacy features, actually. Private relay, which is similar to a VPN but better, but only works with safari, which is also privacy oriented.

There are quite a few features that make iOS more private and secure than an out of the box Android device, but it would take far too long to list them all. Some, you actually have to use to appreciate as well.

It couldn’t be an official vendor, Google would never let that fly.

While that would certainly solve that problem, it still comes down to the individual and what level of privacy they think they need and what features they would have to forfeit to achieve that level.

I’m not all about the tinfoil hat, but I do require a certain level of privacy and iOS gives me that.

I can respect that, but if you’ve never used an iPhone, how do you know how secure it is?

I suppose you could argue which is more secure, graphene or iOS and while most people would say graphene, they’re not willing to make all of the compromises needed in order to use it.

iOS is good enough for most people straight out of the box, you don’t need to flash anything.

No doubt. I can respect your choice, I just like to get it all out there for people to see so they can make a better and more informed decision.

If that level of privacy is important to you, it’s no one else’s place to say whether it’s a good thing or not.

Personally, I have enjoyed the iOS ecosystem and see no reason to go back to Android even if there are features I miss, and my iPhone affords me plenty of protection for my needs.

This argument only holds up against someone who has only used iOS. In fact, I’m actually a relatively new user, not even two years yet. Before that, I did everything you could do with an Android device to make it run as you liked and that was part of the problem.

You shouldn’t have to do anything to your device to make it run as it should. You shouldn’t have to flash a custom kernel because the stock kernel sucks, you shouldn’t have to flash a custom ROM because the one it came with isn’t very secure or it’s bloated and/bug riddled, and you shouldn’t need magisk modules to fill in the gaps in between. That was my whole point. For me, iPhone solves all of that.

For the record, I ran graphene for a while after Google gave the P4/XL the finger after three years.
