Make personal finance comparisons consistent
The Guide is somewhat inconsistent in how it makes comparisons to traditional personal finance.
The main issue that I have found is thus: the Personal Finance page has a paragraph about "Monthly Budgeting" which depicts a single-sig desktop wallet with the key stored on a hardware wallet. In that paragraph, we link to the "Savings Account" case study which depicts a 2-of-3 multi-sig workflow. It seems strange that we are offering up a case study on multi-sig as an "an exploration of this user experience" for a single-sig wallet.
To complicate matters further, farther down the Personal Finance page we refer to the 2-of-3 wallet as being for "Emergency Funds", and we then use the term "Savings" to refer to the complicated 6 key Glacier protocol setup (related to #522).
I think we need to be consistent with our labels and metaphors, especially when cross-link between articles like this.
Proposed Changes
- Review the Guide for situations where these personal finance metaphors are in use
- Make them consistent across pages
I first uncovered this during a discussion on PR #512. I am opening this as a separate issue as that PR is scoped to adding Lightning content to the page.
One thing to consider is discussing auto-signing somewhere on the Personal Finance page as Christoph mentioned here.
This should be complete with #522 and #959. Please open a new issue if there are still inconsistencies.
