1. Channel Opening (buying a channel/funding a wallet)
    2. This may be interactive just as multisig/joint accounts
3. Create Invoice (Receiving bitcoin)
4. Pay Invoice (Sending bitcoin)
    4. Routing errors
    5. Fall back
5. Swap in/Out
    6. Rewgularly if on-chain is where savings are stored, or large salaries
