I'm in El Salvador, doing a workshop tomorrow on basics of self-custody via a mobile hot wallet. Which wallet should I use? I'm leaning towards @AquaBitcoin. Interoperable via swaps w/LN and has a self-custodial btc hot wallet built-in (L-BTC not required). Thoughts?

Open networks win.
Took our first Bitcoin payment through the @Square terminal, customer payed using their @Strike wallet on L2. The payment was faster than using the @Visa network and it didn’t cost us 3.5%+ .20¢ transaction fee to sell a $7 latte. Well done @jack and @jackmallers
