How does one use liquid? I've never done it.
Discussion
Creat blockstream green wallet. There you can store both liquid btc and original btc
I've seen it as an option on green wallet but how do I purchase L-Sats? Where do I go?
You can peg in, IE deposit BTC and get L-BTC via sideswap, or exchange for it on Boltz, which seem to be two of the easiest solutions atm
Boltz is great if you want to use just Green wallet, and Sideswap is an alternative liquid wallet. I have tried both with good results. I actually prefer Sideswap for a liquid wallet, YMMV.
Sideswap seems to not have BTC as an option. Just a bunch of shit coins.
It's a wallet you install.
I'm not sure what that is, but it looks crazy π
Idk π€·ββοΈ. All new to me. I've only been onchain before Feb of this year. So even lightning is new to me. So liquid is new new to me.
I started with Bitcoin as a total noob in February! You can do it! π»π
I mostly use liquid for short term stacking, it's handy for utxo management.
Boltz lets you swap between lightning, L-BTC & BTC. You can install as a PWA.
I can relate my friend π«π π€
It wasnβt very straightforward the first time I tried it. I had to deposit sats through a web interface to peg for Liquid BTC. I donβt remember how I did it. There are some instructions here.

You pour it out of a vessel into either your mouth or another vessel.
Use Green wallet and deposit L-BTC from Lightning with this:
It's very simple and fee very low
