Well liquid or no liquid...

Employer-based 401Ks are not optional at least in my country. They are 'assigned' to all workers. And in them there is simply no way to buy 'spot' Bitcoin in self-custody. Maybe one day, but there isn't right now.

As far as 'real Bitcoin'... if I didn't own some of that I wouldn't be on SN

There are SN users who use liquid to balance their Lightning channels

Boltz is a great service

Aqua and CoinOS are great for beginners

I agree 100%.

I believe that eventually Liquid will be used as a balancing-tool more widely...

It's a cheap way to balance channels without having to pay much in sats.

Chain swaps have their place, but are too expensive for small Lightning channels.
