Use Alby for Zapping and Ledger or similar for long term holding? Thank you for the help 🫡
https://getalby.com/ is a great custodial wallet browser extension. You get a LN address automatically which you can then add on your nostr profile. Most nostr clients also support Nostr Wallet Connect with Alby which enable one tap zaps without leaving your nostr client.
You can also connect it to Zeus wallet on mobile to manage it on the go.
But we only recommend that for small amounts and convenient tipping on nostr. Generally speaking a non-custodial option is recommended for anything beyond pocket change.

Yup!
Basically
Convenient tipping/receiving = custodial apps like alby, strike, etc
Larger amounts of Bitcoin but still convenient spending over LN = custodial lighting wallets like Phoenix, breeze, or your own LN node
Your real stash for long term holding = cold/airgapped wallets like coldcard, foundation, bitbox, trezor/ledger (although they are kinda shady also...)
There's no real win situation unless you run your own node but that is... pricey. Thank you so much for your guidance Dan!
