Which is why I prefer something like CakeWallet or MyMonero to be made available for PinePhone, so you only sync the blockchain rather than store it locally.
Or otherwise have a locally accessible blockchain on your desktop PC, and sync your PinePhone to it.

I love cash, always have up to 40,000 yen with me every month, especially since we're still such a cash driven society, it's actually essencial to have a lot of cash with you.
However, the western world apparently decided at the same time to render cash extinct and go entirely digital-only a la Sweden.
The only way to push back is by using cash en mass while it still exists, the question is how many will actually do so?
Japan is GREAT about cash perhaps the best in the developed world, but for many users crypto serves not as cash but like a backup bank account(highly volatile) or speculative investment, it was more noticing that we have a CLI for Monero(more private) but most crypto users are not represented. I am sure bitcoin core could be ported, it was running on a Linux Zaurus SL-5500 in 2009, but it is just one more app some users may want.
