1. Proton wallet is more akin to something like voltage or Alby Hub (hosted version), in that it's cloud based and encrypted key material based on your credentials. It's also similar to something like blockchain wallet from back in 2015. Not nearly as secure as a seed on your device, but not explicitly a custodial account based system.
2. I haven't used proton since this video, as I pointed out a number of features that I felt were lacking, like RBF, UTXO management, and other privacy features (given it's a device known for privacy and that's what people likely expect).
3. I say a lot of this in the final thoughts but if I didn't give the cloud aspect enough attention then that's my bad. I thought I brought it up by showing access on desktop and mobile but maybe I'm misremembering.
4. Sometimes in making videos every week for 8 years, things get missed. I'm a little sad that someone would instantly jump to "you must have not disclosed an under the table payment from them." I received zero dollars from Proton, and it's not really on my list of recommended wallets - I simply covered it because there was a lot of curiosity around the launch.
