That is what the @npub1eajv...cd93 has built, right? Thanks for writing this out! It makes a lot of sense. I look firqard to more thoughts on how and where such an economy could be bootstraped.

Super helpful! Do you yourself have Google Play installed on your Graphene or not really? I have set my new Pixel 8a with Graphene, but still face minor annoying issues. E.g. I can’t find CurvePay in the AuroraStore. It just does not show up… I have a similar issue with a few more local apps. I have been avoiding to install Google Play and move fully to the Graphene device..but if installing Google Play is a reasonable trade-off, I will definitely do it and hopefully start 2026 with my own device:)
