With transaction fees being so low right now, would it be a good idea to open lightning channels on wallets like Pheonix or Blitz? I would like to eventually give these wallets to my kids but what are the chances these companies close the lightning channel in the future?

Unfortunately I believe the only way to ensure something like this would be to run your own lightning node with enough routing that channel peers want to keep a channel with you.

IMO long term the only thing I'd worry about is on-chain and their UTXO management. Todays scaling solutions probably won't be tomorrow's. I'm confident that there will always be a way to transact cheaply, but hard to say what that looks like 10yrs from now. Only thing I'd be willing to bet is that there will be a path from on-chain to that scaling solution

Thanks! Yeah, that's what I'm thinking right now, worry just about the 1st layer for them, solutions should come in time.
