How do you see self-custody play out on lightning?
I'm a simple pleb and I'm very far away from doing anything remotely self-custodial with regard to lightning...

Run a ln node. Open channels. Live the best life.
That is easier said than done, I'm afraid. But of course, you're right.
But running a node and opening channels is not only difficult, it also runs into the problem of blockspace scarcity... Nor everyone will be self-souvereign this way
Basically owning your own channel routings. There’s a few self-custodial alternatives that dont require running your own ln node. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 nostr:npub148qm45zettnf6ekgkatnyfadunxwjpu8sy88mjdsgwc5f202d93qmejra7
Self custodial users will be the kings of the future financial system, regularly exercising their sovereignty.
That means using their own policies, not anyone else's.
That means capturing the long term value of infrastructure.
That means leveraging insights for precise management of their operations within the dynamic network.
That means managing relationships with other sovereigns.
Not everyone will be able to have the freedom of kings with their own UTXOs.
So if freedom is not for everyone, on what basis did you disqualify ecash?
I'm not too familiar with ecash, but the anonymity appeals to me...
