Why do you swap censorship resistance, trustless trust real money to #Bitcoin IOU which requires trust.
Discussion
I found that when managing my lightning node I need to keep sats aside in order to balance and generally manage liquidity on the channels. So I previously used the option of keeping sats in a lightning wallet that is not self custodial but as my node size is growing I no longer want a larger amount of sats on such a lightning wallet. I do share your preference for trustless BTC as preferrable but for a way to store some sats aside for use as reserve for node management I feel more comfortable using Liquid rather than a lightning wallet that offers, in my opinion, possibly a more limited degree of security in terms of trust.
Let me add some additional context and detail. If I held sats aside, those sats allocated to managing my node, on chain then I need to make a swap through something like Boltz.exchange from BTC to Lightning BTC. That gets costly when done a few times, especially if I am just needing a few k sats to swap. By holding those sats in L-BTC I make one swap, BTC to L-BTC and then, when needed swaps from L-BTC to Lightning sats is much cheaper over time. I understand the trade-off in terms of it's no longer "pure" BTC but I have decided after research to experiment with this method.
I see. In Korea, many plebs transfer Bitcoin from Korean excahnge to abroad exchage by shitcoin like trx because of high Bitcoin withdraw fee. Shitcoins benefit from regulation. I hate this situation. I hope you don't hold them for long-term.
I'm optimistic that there are developing tech solutions to these circumstances.
Ok, it is up to you what shitcoin you use instead of #Bitcoin, but never forget EO 6102.
