This idea could be applied more broadly to the device itself. i.e- unlock the phone with the NFC tag and it opens to your regular home screen, all apps and data accessible, etc. Unlock it with a passcode only (as if forced to do so by authorities), and it opens to a basic screen with minimal apps that you don't even use.
This would seem to be a trivial undertaking for a GrapheneOS dev to come up with

How's the interoperability between Android and iOS? Tried it a while back between me (GrapheneOS) and my sons (all iOS) and just couldn't get it to work reliably. Probably user error, but Evgeny has mentioned in the past that the interoperability was a challenge.

The only thing that can stop Bitcoin is progressivism.
We like to pretend to be above the ideological fray, but progressivism is a deadly, host-killing parasite that doesn't care how much we don't care about politics.
Bitcoin is for everyone, yes, but we must be mindful and vigilant; like a parent watching their child on a busy playground.

Another painful truth is that widespread adoption of Bitcoin as money (i.e.- transaction medium) will require eliminating the concepts of UTXOs, lightning channels, and transaction fees at the consumer level.
The average consumer understands "I give you this in exchange for that," and honestly, they're right.
We are so early in more ways than one.

Real homebuilders.
Housing and labor have become commoditized, but there is such a difference between a mass-produced tract home built to a budget and a bespoke, custom home (no matter the size- small or large) built by craftsmen who care about their work. Even early tract homes have stood the test of time, because they were nevertheless built by craftsmen.
A Homebuilder holds the vision; they are like the conductor in an orchestra.

I would support an ad model that
1)pays me sats to display the ad in my feed, 2)which is opt-in by default (i.e.- the default setting for the platform is "No Ads," and 3)where enough ad blocks mark an ad as spam and permanemtly remove it (that is, once a certain # of npubs block an ad, it is treated by servers as malicious).

The issue for me is informed by past experience, and past experience is of nameless devs influencing what I see and don't see in my feed based on THEIR agenda and what THEY think is best for me.
In other words, Statist, paternalist, head-patting on the part of people who think I'm stupid and need to be told what to do.
The actual motivations of the parties involved in Primalgate are irrelevant in the face of past experience, which cannot be overcome by words and promises.
In short, I don't trust ANYBODY's words.
