That’s the gist of what I’m saying 🤣 I’ve run a routing node, I’ve run multiple node in phone apps, I’ve used most of the custodial wallets, cashu, run my own mint, and I’ve come to this conclusion that myself and probably most people don’t really NEED to bother with any of it. Your time is worth something too, and running lightning fully self-custodial for everything takes a lot of time.

Yes! Then there is the second level effect of my normie buddies still pissed that I convinced them all to spin up nodes to created our ring of financial pain when I promised we'd be the new JP Morgan in 21 😯
