The Primal wallet is now the next conrol-alt-delete in my list of lightning wallets that have failed for me (WoS, Pheonix, Mutiny). Being a custodial wallet is one thing, but the backend magic with Strike and Apple is sus and I'm now convinced that any bitcoin held in a Primal wallet is no different that holding a bitcoin ETF. To be fair, this compromise is likely due to Apple's walled-garden, but Primal's wallet is not the solution. New Nostr users have better options today than a year ago (Coinos being a great example). No doubt we will need more privacy conscious bitcoiners talking about this for Primal to even think about revising their system, so hopefully this post can encourage that conversation. Getting off Apple is also another necessary discussion...
