Custodial for spending, on chain for saving. When things like Fedimint become reality the custodianship can be on a much smaller scale within the circle of trust (friends, family etc). Quoting #[2]​ , you know who to punch in the face when the custodian runs away with your money. With things like WoS rug pulls or government attacks are the things to be looking out for.

LND forced closed some channels on my for whatever shitty reason, also messed up sweep transactions

Bullshit, on the surface that might be true but Nostr is a decentralized freedom tool and accepting fiat payments requires KYC, KYC is by default centralized and can be used to oppress. KYC relays can be required to disclose payment information to repressive states.

In the end relays are free to accept fiat off course but it’s the anti thesis of freedom to me.
