 We have local company here. Custodial wallet. It just makes it easier for me as everyone on same custodial system and don’t have to open up rabbit hole of lightning channels etc at the beginning. Probably easier to do it like that with wallet of satoshi or something. We use puravida bitcoin and I think it helps as you can do lightning but also on chain so triggers conversation about custody etc. There’s loads of options but I think best to identify one and stick with it so not losing time on different wallets etc. I made that mistake and just ended up in long winded conversations going nowhere 
 Yeah, it’s a great point because there are so many different kinds of wallets. Not to mention the complexity of lightning channels and stuff that even myself is still learning how to do properly. 
 Pura vida wallet pretty good if you want to try. It’s built on goloy so similar to some others. I think it’s useful to have a wallet that has both options of on chain and lightning for conversation. It’s a question of finding the correct starting point. Full psychopathy takes time! Saying that, I took one person from “how does it work” to “I’m ordering a cold card” in a couple months! Not the norm though
