Do you have A LIGHTNIG wallet. First step is to get one of those. If you dont have one wallet of satoshi is probably easiest. Keep in mind this is a custodial wallet so never keep large amounts on here. As you learn more you will migrate to there solutions hopefully non custodial

I don't. Never have bothered with lightning. Buy BTC. HODL. Heh
I always try and use lightning to buy where possible. No friction instant settlement. Spend and replace. Help the circular network grow.
This is me being ignorant: I have never once seen anything for sale that I've been interested in that I could buy with crypto. I legit find more stuff I can and want to buy with metals than crypto.
