The Hard Truth:
Your wallet will only scale and get adopted if the average local person (the lady at the market, the tuk tuk driver, anyone) can use it with zero friction.

I share what I learned on the ground in El Salvador — the world’s leading Bitcoin economy:
– Why Blink is currently crushing it as the benchmark wallet
– Custodial wallets as a necessary “baby step” for onboarding (yes, even the hardcore Bitcoiners hate it… but it works)
-The critical transition from custodial → self-custody (with Lightning, Liquid, and new L2s making it seamless)
– Why developers and product teams must be physically in high-adoption places like El Salvador for real testing cycles (multiple payments per day vs once-a-month usage in the US/Europe)
– Speed is everything: instant QR codes, internal ledger payments, and frictionless UX win every time

If your wallet is complicated, slow, or only usable by technical Bitcoiners… it’s dead in the water. Real adoption happens when normal people can open it, understand it, and use it daily without thinking.
This video is especially for wallet builders, payments companies, and anyone working on Bitcoin UX. If you want deeper insights or consulting on making your wallet actually work in the real world, reach out — I’m happy to talk.
