Custodial yield platforms require trust.
Lightning routing doesn’t.
Avoid 3 major risks by stacking sats through your own node:
1. Counterparty risk – Custodial platforms take control of your Bitcoin. Routing keeps it in your possession—no intermediaries.
2. Regulatory exposure – Custodial yield accounts can be frozen, geo-fenced, or seized. Lightning runs on permissionless infrastructure.
3. Access restrictions – Centralized platforms can delay or block withdrawals—especially when you need funds most (BlockFi or Celsius sound familiar?).
Routing rewards node operators who keep BTC moving—without giving up control. 💪
Make these 3 mindset shifts to protect your money’s time-value:
1. Inflation isn’t sudden—it’s slow erosion. You wake up one day working just as hard... and wonder why you can’t afford to live.
2. Earning more won’t matter if your money loses value faster than you can make it.
3. Bitcoin is more than "better money". It’s a time vault, secured by math that no central bankers can change.
That’s why we’re building on Lightning—and why Amboss exists.
To help route real value, peer to peer, on top of the hardest money ever created.
It’s how we reclaim our time.
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.
