Anytime a bitcoin service shuts down, it is just further proof that you need to host all your necessary bitcoin infrastructure yourself. Have contingency plans and alternatives ready in case any given project you're utilizing stops being supported.

I've always been hosting my own applications across my entire stack. But I feel for people impacted when a service shuts down. A lot of people don't have the expertise or time to be able to maintain and update everything required for a full self-custodial solution. But it is so important that we all have the option and right to do so.

This will certainly get easier over time. The development in this space happens so quick. But as quick as new developments are made, just as quickly some can fail. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
