The Bitcoin Wallets I Use Every Day (Livestream Recap + Q&A) \ stacker news ~bitcoin

Hey stackers!

I just wrapped up the second episode in my Living on Bitcoin livestream series — and this one’s all about wallets. Not cold storage. Not theory. Just the actual wallets I use daily to live on Bitcoin—on-chain, Lightning, and everything in between.

Here’s what I covered:

Why wallet choice actually matters when living on Bitcoin
The mobile + desktop setup I use (with a self-hosted Lightning node)
Pros and cons of wallets like Muun, Nunchuk, Sparrow, Zeus, Aqua, and Phoenix
Real-world tangents like DCA setups, opening Lightning channels, and managing fees
Why I still avoid custodial wallets whenever I can
Tons of live Q&A on security, backups, sovereignty, and spending
