I run my own node and zap from it through NWC. I receive zaps to my npub through nlub.cash. I run my own relay for backup purposes Lightning is as decentralized as you make it. Lack of effort doesn't mean it's centralized. It's only centralized if you use custodians because you're lazy.

Or not a technical user to do all these bunch of things
Lack of effort.
It's not hard whatsoever: it requires a few hours of work and 150 buck worth of investment.
Now in addition to confusing lightning with bitcoin, you're confusing money with effort
I pay 0 dollars a month to self custody my Bitcoin because it's decentralized
I pay 0 dollars a month to self custody paper cash because even though it's not decentralized like Bitcoin, it's also not as centralized as lightning
There are people in the world who live on about a dollar a day, you're saying if they just put in a little effort they'd have $150 a month? No, money isn't effort, you're just a self centered pussy who can't handle difficult thoughts so you falsely tell yourself you're better than other people because you put in the "effort" of wasting $150 a month to be able to also falsely tell yourself you "self custody lightning"
I wasn't replying to you.
1. Nothing you've said refutes that it's way more centralized than cash, which is what you were replying to
2. Lightning requires custodial help, just because you run your own node doesn't mean you're self-custodying it. It's a lightning mode, not a Bitcoin blockchain network node. Stop confusing lightning with bitcoin
Cash is a dying relic of the past. Lightning uses bitcoin. Stop the nonsense. If you don't like it, be my guest and get paid in cash.
