"Number go up" is what brings most people (especially in the west) to bitcoin. It's what initially brought me to bitcoin. It's been said by some people that it takes a couple of touches to gain a greater understanding of the "what" and "why" of bitcoin. Frankly, it's taken me a year, and I still have much to learn. I haven't even set up my own lightning node yet.
Unless you're very technical (you can run a server and troubleshoot errors), I'd say you're fine just using a non-custodial LN wallet like Breez. Running your own infrastructure is interesting and rewarding, but nerve-wracking.

I have never truly run a bitcoin node or an LN node despite being interested in bitcoin for many years
