anyone serious about bitcoin has to turn a lot of blind eyes to their iphone. the only things you're allowed to install are what the app store permits you to. apps have to be "approved" first.

i've seen a lot of apple apologists strongly defending their preference and the reason is never freedom, control, sovereignty, independence, responsibility, or values: "it's so smooth!" "it just works!" in other words, aesthetics & convenience.

when push comes to shove re: separating money from state, the choices you'll be forced to make by your government will be a lot harder than leaving behind some aesthetics & convenience. maybe start practicing now.
