I'm still just shocked my node works.
it's cool isn't it? Why don't more people use this stuff?

I mean, I'm pretty tech illiterate so I'm running LND, but at least I vaguely understand backups and channel closure possibility. Using it for my spending, and being able to backend so many wallets directly to myself.
I suppose for the majority it's still too complicated. I for one though, cannot seem to stop pushing further in this direction.

Keep Going! Lightning in my opinion is very, very good.
I used to use Phoenix and it was 'good enough' in my opinion for larger-scale adoption... but running one's own node is best.

It's been wild. If only I could tally all my transactions between all the LN wallets I've tried along the way, custodial to self hosted. Between SN and Nostr, even just 7 or 21 sats at a time, gift card purchases, DCA withdrawals. Literally tens of thousands over the last two years.
At the very least lightning has scaled my use and spending habits.

Good for you! Lightning is impressive. It's the 'value superhighway' the way the internet was the 'information superhighway' in my opinion!
But don't forget, capital gains taxes have to be calculated and kept track of for all those sats! ;)
Every zap, however small is a capital gains transaction and if you receive 10 sats then you need to keep track of the price when receiving them! And the 'gain' when you 'send them out' again on Nostr! ;)

And don't forget buy your bonds ;)
