Phoenix is really good and I recommend it to people, however:

- extreme form of "non-custodial centealizarion"

- very very bad privacy

- actually super expensive

I think it's smarter to use Zeus with your own Lightning node on a server at this point.

Phoenix's 0.4% outbound payment fee means during low fee environments sending $100 on chain is actually cheaper than sending $100 using phoenix. The UI/UX is really good though.

Yeah, I've spliced out of my channel more than once because it was cheaper to do than to send via Lightning. Feels weird.
