The posts from the last few days began after Phoenix announced they were removing their app from US app stores so it has been about lightning nodes specifically.
Both !
Running a bitcoin node is only effective if you actually connect your wallet to it. Everyone who holds bitcoin should do it. Running a Lightning node is too costly and complicated of a task for most people.
You can run a node in your phone 😉 @ZEUS makes it’s easier
I use Breez. Cheaper fees.
I’m just saying that there are options that makes it easier already vs few years ago
Absolutely 💯 Phoenix was also one of them, which everyone pushed and now that they made that decision (a bad decision imho) people are shouting "run a node" which implies doing more than a mobile node, or maybe they just didn't know Phoenix was actually a node. Zeus, Breez, Blixt, etc are all good mobile node options.
