Maybe I am blind, as I do not see anyway to force close an inactive channel in Core Lightning on Start9 π
I submitted an issue in the meantime.
Matter exists to participate, not to be entombed.
Same with:
money
systems
institutions
laws
authority
When they start existing only to preserve themselves, they invert their purpose.
Thatβs when the 180-degree rule lights up like a flare.
Gold in vaults.
Fiat in circulation.
People in debt.
Flip it:
People in sovereignty.
Tools in circulation.
Value in motion.
Gold surpassed $5K!!
So now weβve got:
imaginary money
buying imaginary gold
to hedge against imaginary money
Thatβs Inception-level abstraction.
Some build structures.
Some build systems.
A rare few build the patterns beneath them all.
We read what they wish you never read.
TimeLocked.
A love built on choice, not obligation.
A bond strong enough to let go.

What is sinister is folks saving their real time/energy in a system continuously generating imaginary digits simultaneously. π
Some point into the dark, others shine a light.
Listening to Runningβ Knots while the board reads:
Knots 25 β 71%
Core 10 β 29%
The long game
Some will always want protection.
Some will always want freedom.
Both will build worlds around those desires.
And over time, results speak louder than promises.
Thatβs when the quiet migration accelerates.
