Proton Wallet – a safer way to hold Bitcoin

This and their AI thing they released a week orso ago, makes me considering another Email Provider. Not sure which one yet... They invested time, effort, and money in hype industries. No thanks. They could have used that time to make their core products (email, calendar, address book) better. My money went to the wrong things. :-(

So, you all have decided to spend time and money on _this_ instead of working on any one of 1000s of useful features that are missing from your existing products like, for example, making Proton Pass easier to use (e.g. more&#x2F;better browser integration or Android activity C&amp;P).<p>Crypto-anything in 2024 is a red flag and, as a long-time customer, makes me seriously question your priorities and long-term, strategic thinking.

Is Bitcoin still thing outside of habitual gambling circles? I thought only the doomsday cult that is waiting to get rich after a global economic meltdown cared for BTC in 2024.

So cool to see it follows Proton&#x27;s approach to making overwhelming tech easy to use. Referring especially to the Bitcoin via email feature which I&#x27;ve never seen before.

Even in this cost of living crisis, over the last six months I&#x27;ve been ever so slowly been putting money aside by not dining out, cancelled my streaming services, cutting down on utility usage (heating) and even started collecting aluminium cans to scrape together the USD191.76 I have due on 26th August for 2 years of service. I don&#x27;t make the big bucks like everyone here but to me my privacy is worth every cent and sacrifice.<p>I would like to try this Proton Wallet out but don&#x27;t have the liquidity right now to buy bitcoin but I wish them the best of luck.<p>Two side notes: I&#x27;d pay more to access this and their Scribe offering (yes, I got their wayward email blast and apology on it) but what would a single guy do with six accounts on their Visionary tier?<p>I also think Proton could acquire Kagi and it would a perfect fit.

In 2024, seeing someone promote cryptocurrency for its original purpose <i>with a straight face</i> is jarring. After so many years of 99.9999999% scammers and pumping speculators.<p>And if you use cryptocurrency for its original purpose today, you&#x27;re dealing with a &quot;wretched hive of scum and villainy&quot; much worse than the government fiat currency that was originally criticized.

Awesome product, glad to pay for something I use every day, the wallet will simplify my life

Once again proud of having chosen Proton and supporting them with my paid plan.
