Bitcoin nodes, not lightning.

The posts from the last few days began after Phoenix announced they were removing their app from US app stores so it has been about lightning nodes specifically.

Both !

Running a bitcoin node is only effective if you actually connect your wallet to it. Everyone who holds bitcoin should do it. Running a Lightning node is too costly and complicated of a task for most people.

You can run a node in your phone 😉 nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 makes it’s easier

I use Breez. Cheaper fees.

I’m just saying that there are options that makes it easier already vs few years ago

Absolutely 💯 Phoenix was also one of them, which everyone pushed and now that they made that decision (a bad decision imho) people are shouting "run a node" which implies doing more than a mobile node, or maybe they just didn't know Phoenix was actually a node. Zeus, Breez, Blixt, etc are all good mobile node options.
