Trouble is non custodial is far more complex than custodial.
If custodial wallets like coinos.io work in the US why not use them?
It seems likely the new US administration will ease back on the Chokepoint2 obstruction that wallet providers have been getting hit with.
Re the new administration... we don't know yet.
Many Bitcoiners oppose the accumulation of sats custodially. I think there is a place for custodial lightning of course but it's much healthier, especially in the long run if people hold their own keys.

Agree, but I have found coinos.io LN wallet useable for a non tech whereas non custodial wallets remain significantly more complex to operate for a newbie or non tech user.
Since the context of the post is about $20 beer money it seems OTT to get too concerned about custody...and much more imperative to select the most user friendly wallet for a first time user to start on.

Agreed on this point, coinos is probably what I would (and have) turned to for easy onboarding. The benefit of having a web interface can't be understated for a newb, regardless of what type of phone they have.

I haven't tried Coinos... but my impression is that a widely-available, non-custodial app is better than a web interface, especially on a small screen.
Does this make sense?
reply
No.
Coinos is very easy to use on laptop or smartphone.
