Sending stablecoins on Tron now costs up to $6 per transaction. 😳 For a centralized network built to be "cheap", that’s a steep price just to move USDT. 4 reasons Lightning will win the global stablecoin race: 1. Low fees – Move sats (or stables) for fractions of a cent 2. Instant settlement – No pending state, no waiting for blocks 3. Scales natively – Handles global volume without congestion or fee spikes 4. Built on Bitcoin – No tradeoffs on decentralization or security Stablecoins need better rails. Bitcoin’s already got them.
In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. Amboss didn’t bank there—but our payroll provider did. Half a payroll vanished overnight. image They told us: "You'll need to resend the funds." That moment revealed a few (very personal) stark truths about traditional banking: 1. You don’t control your money. Even if your bank survives, their partner’s might not. 2. Diversifying banks isn’t enough. Hidden counter-parties = hidden risk. 3. Their reserve requirement is 0%. Your balance is an IOU backed by nothing. 4. Bitcoin and Lightning are your answer. No trust required. That’s why we’re building Amboss. To create financial sovereignty—and convenience—at scale. #lightningnetwork #amboss

Running a Lightning node can be quite profitable... But also time-consuming (and a little frustrating) if you’re not a "techie". Now imagine if you could earn higher BTC yield... Without building the hardware... Managing the channel liquidity... Or touching the command line. We believe this should be possible for ALL Bitcoiners, where you... - Put your dormant BTC to work... - And preserve your self-custody... - While avoiding the constant burden of proficient node management... All controlled by the most powerful data & automation layer for Lightning. We see a future where all of this is possible. Who knows? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø #lightningnetwork
Most businesses aren't ready for BTC on their balance sheet. But they will accept more dollars—with fewer headaches. 5 benefits stablecoins can bring to Lightning payments (using Taproot Assets): - Instant settlement, no chargebacks - Lower fees than Visa or bank wires - Global reach without FX friction - Built on Bitcoin, with self-custodial options - A path to BTC <> USD swaps (no centralized exchanges) Taproot Assets will let Lightning speak fiat—on Bitcoin’s terms. image
Bitcoin removes the gatekeepers. Lightning removes the wait. No accounts. No borders. No settlement delays. Just value—moving freely. You don’t have to trust a bank or processor. You can verify every payment yourself. Anyone can run a node. Anyone can earn for providing liquidity. This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a different foundation. Financial freedom starts by embracing the future—decentralized. šŸ‘
Lightning isn't just for micro-payments anymore. It’s becoming the next-gen rails for transactions of all sizes: - Now routes $10, $100, even $1,000+ (no protocol upgrades needed) - Businesses will soon move stablecoins at scale, not just sats - Routing fees often fall below 0.05%—cheaper than Visa - Payments settle instantly with no chargebacks or fraud windows The future isn’t slow, fee-heavy, or reversible. It’s Lightning.
Picking Lightning node peers is like shaking hands at a conference. You can connect with anyone, but some attendees have more valuable networks than others. Look for these 3 traits that reliable Lightning peers always share: - Well-connected — They’re linked to high-traffic nodes, not stranded on the edge - Proven uptime — Their channels stay open and stable - Historical reliability — Years of performance prove they’re worth trusting Amboss reveals all of this on the Magma Marketplace—so you don’t have to guess. You don’t need 100 channels. You need just a few of the right handshakes. šŸ¤ image #lightningnetwork #amboss
