Check out my profile or my donation page on my website. I happily accept MWEB Litecoin, Railgun shielded Ethereum and Lightning Bitcoin as decent privacy preserving alternatives to Monero. Its just that when it comes to usage, I can't trust any project nearly to the degree that I can trust Monero to protect my freedom. Many others share my judgement and thus Monero sees real world adoption on levels that pulverise Bitcoin. This is displeasing to me as I'd love for lightning Bitcoin to offer comparable ease of use, security and privacy. It doesn't.

I have no issues with you using Monero.

Lightning is easy to use. There are already so many wallets and so many ways to use it. Its not true what you are saying about Bitcoin Lightning.

Nostr ZAPs are Lightning and it just works. Also, easy.

Unfortunately mostly custodial with zero privacy.

Show me ten random people here on Nostr and I show you that 8/10 use custodial wallets.

Again, a complete BS comment.

Can I use Phoenix wallet for Bitcoin Lightning Network payments and self-cusotdy my sats? Yes. Same with BullBitcoin wallet? Yes. Aqua? Yes. Muun? Yes and many many more. Also easy to use.

Custodial wallets have their own functions. If people keep small amounts of money in them there is no issue at all. For the people that don't like them there is more than enough options.
