Treat WoS sats like cash you carry in your wallet. $10 is probably fine, $100 probably isn’t, $1000 definitely isn’t.

WoS is only a matter of time until rug or closing up shop, so minimize the time you expose yourself to their services, according to your comfortability.

Learn slow, but seriously - it takes some time & dedication. I recommend nostr:npub1fqn4fgzkk8nm2x3wd600n935c9tc7xgg9jhk5dfa0kuvrgvsyv7sgu536l‘s book, Inventing Bitcoin, as a quick ELI5 for how bitcoin works. Lightning is one of Bitcoin’s second layers and a different beast entirely - most people don’t need to know the specifics besides if there’s no key, it’s not yours. After you have an uncomfortable amount in WoS, withdrawing to Phoenix is a good idea. When it gets into the .01+ bitcoin range and you don’t think you want to spend it anytime soon or urgently, storing it on the base layer without lightning involved is a good idea.
