Newspeak like “non-custodial wallet”, that’s just a wallet. Newspeak is designed to undermine clear thought, normalize establishment controls. Reject and keep using real language.
@druidian
Terminology matters. Words mean things. There is no such thing as a “custodial wallet”; that is an “account” you have with a custodian.
When you say “non-custodial wallet” you are playing the tyrant’s word games. “Non-custodial” implies that “custodial” is the norm. It is not and never should be.
Because there is no such thing as a “custodial wallet,” there can be no such thing as a “non-custodial wallet”; that’s just a wallet.
If you see people use this undermining terminology, correct them.
There is no wallet in Bitcoin, only a keyring. Satoshi struggled with what to describe the software as, and IIRC went with wallet thinking “keyring” was conceptually too far a leap for most people. “Keys to unlock your money” wasn’t an existing thing for people to relate to except maybe unlocking your safe.
