 Basically if you think receiving bitcoin via zaps is your only need, then you don't understand your needs and should do a reassessment.

In the not-so-distant future this will become plainly obvious. In the mean time I'll continue to point it out. 🫡 
 When I need to run a node I will. I’ve run one in the past. For now I don’t have the need. It’s pretty cut and dry. Nothing to get defensive over. 
 The sooner you build one the sooner you can make it back; people won't likely be able to get more than a thousand sats for their dollar for much longer.

I may come off as defensive but in reality I don't need you to run a node; I'm already set. But a lightning node solves 90% or more of the complaints I see on here constantly.
