Yesterday was all about Bitcoin Lightning.
I feel like I finally have a solid node. Now the real work begins: polishing it, tuning it, and making it shine for the network. This is not a quick win, but a long-term process to turn **BitcoinSilverFox** into a node people want to use—and one that can generate steady yield.
This is very different from trading. It’s about putting my capital to work for the network itself, and in return receiving sats back.
Right now there are around 17,000 “banks” on the Lightning network, helping move money seamlessly from point A to point B, even when there’s no direct channel between users.
The Lightning Network is a powerful example of how small, simple plebs can each contribute something that may seem insignificant alone—but together form an unstoppable network. ⚡️

Christian. Bitcoiner. Trying to walk the narrow path.
A fundamentalist in my own life, a liberal for others.
Lightning is hope. Health and nature matter.
Not here to preach – just sharing the life I try to live.
Our cat fell from the terrace of our apartment last night. I realized she was gone when I woke up and she didn’t greet me with her usual meow. First, I searched the entire apartment, then I went outside to look for her. We live right next to an old-growth forest and thought she might have been easy prey for a fox, but then I went out again around lunchtime, and there she was. She’s limping a bit (a 10‑meter fall), but otherwise in good shape.
A cat has nine lives — how many have you used up now?


Are you running a Lightning node? Let’s connect! Open a channel to my node and I’ll balance it to 50% or open a channel back to you. You can find my node by searching for BitcoinSilverFox. Drop me a note here on Nostr, and I’ll get back to you quickly.
Remember that those who were your salvation yesterday can quickly become your enemy tomorrow, but the people themselves are the same.


King crab and Northern light. A good day in the north


In the North and looking at the Northern light


Is LNDg every Lightning Node owners best friend?
The problem with the world isn’t communism, capitalism, or any other -ism. The problem is greed. That’s why we need an economic system that prevents the ability to take from others. I only know one thing that solves this — Bitcoin.
One evening with good friends, nice food and wine. It is any better way to spend an evening?
Why do people go short or long with perps or similar. They should know that they will be liquidated.
Pizza in the making

Podcasts like this one with Jack Dorsey easily pull me back to Bitcoin’s core idea, and that’s where I should be.

Gave up my old Lightning node—never hit positive ROI. Back at it with a smaller setup for a trustless personal payment channel. Alby is a great tool alongside my Umbrel humming in the background with its Alby hub, Lightning node, and Bitcoin knot. #Nostr #Bitcoin #Alby #Umbrel #Bitkoin_knot
