Okay fair… but I still don’t get why I should do it 😅 I mean, btc node gives me more privacy for instance. What does a lightning node give me? Or what does it give anyone?

Well, the alternative is using a custodial solution... Phoenix is a good alternative though. Not everyone needs to have their own LN node. Fun to learn however

Well sure. The thing is, I want to learn. But I just don’t see the point I guess 😅 also. Can I use my lightning node without opening channels? I think so?

You can use the onchain funds without channels, but there's not really any point doing it. Just open a channel with Acinq to get started
