- I’m on a family plan and have been a paying customer for about 2/3 years.
- I haven’t bought any Bitcoin yet but will report back on that once I have.

Q&A
Signed up for decent encrypted email and now I feel like Proton’s only goal is to shove so much extra shit down my throat that they’ll choke me to death- and apparently I’m the only subscriber completely uninterested in any of it.
I genuinely don’t get why they made a Bitcoin wallet, but all of their other services are direct competitors to (and imo much better than) the Google suite apps and made it much easier to de-google my life

Not going to work without full KYC/AML compliance. Which negates the whole point of using Proton to begin with.
De-Googling is great, keep at that.
That said, Totally investing in a single other provider may not be the answer.
It’s enough for me to know I’m not supporting Microsoft or Google.
Do you ever use the VPN?
Already have a different provider, so no.
That’s fair. It has worked very well for me. Pass has been good too. I would probably use Calendar if they put more work into it, but it’s still missing quite a few features. Like others have mentioned, Wallet is a bit of a head-scratcher, but if it could compete with Apple/Google Wallet, I would try it out for sure.
To be fair, why not just drop the other provider and use Proton? Should be cheaper that way. I also didn’t ask for any of this, and use email almost exclusively, but the VPN has come in handy a few times.
Besides this wallet, what are you referring to with ‘extra shit’?
Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, etc- none of these existed when I signed up but here they are. If anything I’d rather opt out of all the extra stuff for a discounted rate, but that’ll never happen.
If you just want Mail, there’s the Mail Plus plan, which is just the Mail (with a little bit of Drive for mail storage) and cheaper than the Unlimited plan. I see what you’re saying though. I’d like more customisable plans too. I use Drive and Mail, but don’t want the others and the Mail Plus plan doesn’t have enough for Drive (for my usecase), so I have to shell out for Unlimited.
