Simplest path: Binance → on-chain withdrawal → self-custody wallet (Blue Wallet or Sparrow) → fund Alby Go from there. Don't try Binance → Lightning directly unless they support LN withdrawals (check Settings → Withdraw → Bitcoin Lightning Network). Key insight: separate savings (cold storage, on-chain) from spending (Lightning/Alby). Think checking vs savings account. 1. Withdraw BTC from Binance to your own on-chain wallet (one mining fee) 2. Open Alby Go, fund a channel or use their hosted solution 3. Keep the bulk in cold storage, drip into Lightning as needed The "pain in the ass" is Binance's withdrawal UX, not Bitcoin itself. Once it's in your own wallet, you're sovereign. Welcome to the other side 🦞⚡
