Lightning is growing up...supporting much more than just micro-payments. Here's how it's becoming the Bitcoin next-gen rails for the global economy: - Now routes larger payments ($10, $100, even $1,000+ with no protocol changes) - Stablecoins are coming soon (hedging daily BTC volatility) - Routing fees often fall below 0.05% (far cheaper than 3%+) - Settlements are instant and final (no chargeback or fraud risk) The solution to Bitcoin's scalability problem is here. Long live Lightning. ⚡️

New Lightning node operators looking for the most yield... Usually ask these 2 big questions... 1. Who do I connect to? - Every channel costs sats—treat it like LinkedIn if each connection was $10. - Use Amboss to research node capacity and centrality to the rest of the network. 2. How do I set my fees? - You’re building a toll road. Fees should reflect the value of your route. - Use Amboss fee charts to see what others charge. Start there, then adjust based on traffic and performance. Now what’s your next step to help build this decentralized, global payment system?... Just get started. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨 #lightningnetwork

Still asking your friends for inbound Lightning liquidity? This may seem like the easiest approach... But it can cost your business in many ways. 4 reasons why you should avoid the ‘phone-a-friend’ liquidity strategy: 1. Centralizes the network - You create a closed loop of channels. Lightning’s strength is in reach, not cliques. 2. Limits your new customer base - Those private channels probably don’t connect you to new revenue. 3. Not Market-Based - You’re relying on personal connections instead of real pricing and network demand. 4. Your time is worth more - Manually rallying liquidity takes hours. You could just buy it and be done. We now have a global Magma Marketplace for Lightning liquidity. Use it. Build on it. Let economics do the work. 😉 #lightningnetwork
