B i t c o i n V i a E - M a i l πŸ”₯ Proton leading the way: "By leveraging Proton’s existing encryption key management infrastructure that powers the end-to-end encrypted services that we use to support over 100 million accounts today, sending and receiving Bitcoin is now as easy as sending and receiving email. As long as both the sender and recipient have a Proton Wallet, you only need the recipient’s email address to send them Bitcoin."

"While offline hardware wallets can theoretically be more secure, the associated expense and increased complexity limits their use cases, so Proton Wallet aims to be the most secure, always-accessible Bitcoin wallet."

Yeah, two completely different things, which was my point. Comparing them and calling this safer is simply wrong. Getting your seed from a screen on an internet connected device is never going to be as safe as not. The added complexity IS the security. They should stay in their lane of hot wallets and not pretend that they are an alternative to using offline solutions. It would be different if they said safer than other hot wallets. But they explicitly compare to hardware here. Someone will eventually get rekt.
