nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 I watched your Phoenix wallet tutorial. Excellent! I’m planning to set up a wallet for my kids that I’ll give access to when graduating high school. Lightning seems like a more private option than on-chain and I can keep adding small amounts without utxo management. The initial chunk sent to the wallet will be of significant size to me and on-chain. The 1% fee is high. Is there a better way to get from on-chain to Phoenix? Perhaps on-chain to Muun to Phoenix? With a significant amount in the Phoenix wallet, is there any security difference between a 12 word lightning wallet and 12 word bitcoin wallet? My intent is these are set aside for a decade with occasional deposits during that time. With large enough utxo I could also just go the on-chain route for their wallets. I like the idea of being able to gift them something with better privacy however so that’s why I’m looking at lightning. Would love to know your thoughts if you have time! If not just thanks for the videos. Maybe this is a future topic for you. Setting up wallets for kids that will be secure long into the future and private.

I wouldn't hold large amounts on any lightning network. If you're gonna give it to your kids once they get older, which will probably be more than 10 years, right? Your best bet is a hardware wallet. Onchain lightning network is not too Hodl bitcoin. It is simply to move Bitcoin faster.

Thanks! Yes this is what is confusing me. There is a 12 word self-custodial backup with Phoenix. I’m not understanding where the security difference resides between holding on lightning and on-chain if the private keys works the same way. Is the difference just the security of SENDING on-chain vs lightning and not a different in holding? If that’s the case then my kids would just need to be careful moving the funds in the future. Not meant for a very large transfer. To be moved more slowly and in smaller pieces. But tradeoff is the gained privacy.
