Del=self

How much self custody?

Most = hardware wallet on chain (Trezor or Coldcard)

On lightning would be using something like Zeus with your own lightning node.

- Lower than that is noncustodial lightning wallet like Blixt or Phoenix

thank you

on-chain is clear - when I get zapped 1m SATS it makes sense to move it to BTC chain

LN is more complex

I know about Blix - I believe it can also work with my own node, though by default it uses something custodial - but I do have my own keys

I think Phoenix is android and as much as I am ashamed I am an iPhone user still

I need to check Zeus

I am not sure what is the difference for having own keys but not own node vs having own node and keys.

I mean there is clear downside of managing the node and channels and backups and all this stuff that causes me a headache even to start think of.
