I have to admit I'm a hypocrite when it comes to exchanges

My general stance is that high fees are a relatively low cost to pay if you have an exchange that is BTC-focused, good UX, minimal ads/tracking, promotes self custody, etc

But in practice if I'm buying KYC I just go for whatever has the lowest fees

Same goes for wallets

I've played around with running a Lightning node, self custodial solutions like Phoenix, but instead of shelling out for inbound liquidity or a service like Alby Hub I mostly stick to custodial WOS, or even exchange based LN wallets

So yeah, I'm part of the problem
