 Learn to lightning.  
 I know LN. used Muun for a long time, told everyone about it. Then the onchain fees screwed me, this was in '22 or '23 I believe.
I made an attempt to give LN a shot again just the other day, while onchain fees, while still exorbitant by comparison to my favorite chains, was low for Bitcoin.
I downloaded Zeus, loaded onchain from another wallet (this took  20-30 min to get 1 conf). Then, went to transfer to LN, but was given a notice that the $25 I was testing with was not enough to open a channel! Wow! What a great user experience! So, ixnay on the ightningLay.
Dude, put the politics of yore aside and give LTC & BCH a try. Fast & cheap on layer 1! Both blow BTC out of the water for usability.
