I am using Aqua wallet for smaller amounts. Liquid is a side chain using a federation model with a 11 of 15 multisig. You can swap BTC in for Liquid BTC. Once there you can send either via the liquid network or via lightning. It’s not self custody but having a 11 of 15 multisig makes it safer than trusting just one entity. I think of the “easy” options for using lightning it’s a reasonable one. I also use Strike, however, I am trusting my BTC with just one entity. Of these options I would not leave more than a smaller amount of BTC on them. Running a node and managing your own channels is the best way but may be too technical for mass adoption. I run my own node and opened my own channel. I use Zeus as a wallet option. It wasn’t an easy task setting it all up.

Cool thanks for sharing! Maybe Liquid and lightning make sense for small amounts and daily purchases, definitely not to hodl ☝️😜
