As I see it, Bitcoin is the settlement layer and Lightning the payment layer. So IMO there is a difference between 'getting/investing in some Bitcoin' and actually using it to pay for things. If you prefer the latter, you need to move to Lightning eventually.

So maybe another branch or follow-up can be something like:

  1. Do you want to pay for services with Bitcoin?
  2. Slow or Fast payments?
  3. Lightning service or your own node?
  4. Provide links to Lightning Wallets OR guide(s) to setting up your own Lightning wallet and note that a Bitcoin Node is a requirement.
