To sum up, the best option for someone new to Nostr and Bitcoin would be to start with a custodial wallet for testing purposes and more importantly, to enable RECEIVING Zaps. For larger transactions or long-term usage, it's recommended to divide funds among more than one custodial wallets and eventually transition to a self-hosted node for full ownership, greater control and cost savings. Self-custodial options and mobile wallets with built-in LN functionality are available for those not yet ready to set up their own LN node.
