 I would recommend starting here and then gradually branch out with some of the other tutorials in the description: go to YouTube, find the BTCsessions channel, watch Secrets to Buying & Spending Bitcoin with Almost No Fees! 
 Ok. Thank you 
But is liquid-btc something good? Can then be swapped to #btc ? With or without fees? #asknostr anybody knows? #liquidbtc 
 you can swap via boltz.exchange 
 Good is hard to answer. I’d watch some of those videos to try to learn more and see if it’s a good fit for your use case. Nothing is perfect. 
Liquid and lightning will require some fees, though much smaller than on chain. 
 Liquid has tradeoffs & this is how I see it.

It's not as low risk as Onchain Bitcoin or self custody Lightning.

It has less risk than a single party, custodial lightning wallet.

It's not as fast as lightning (1 min Vs 5-10 secs), but fees are cheap & you don't need to manage channel liquidity.

It also seems relatively easy to move in & out of. Moving in/out onchain Bitcoin has fees & so do the swap services (more like lightning fees though).
