The Conscious Contrarian

Been playing with running my own Lightning node. Question: Will this ever be worth doing for the average person, or even more sophisticated users of Bitcoin? It seems the superior setup is just to hold BTC in self-custody and then just hold whatever you want to spend (and can afford to lose) in the most trusted custodial Lightning wallet. What am I missing?

I'm surprised not more Bitcoiners talk about the risk Binance is posing to the market. Could easily be another FTX in the making for all we know.

Can you please share how I can sign the relevant message for my BOLT12 offer?

What are people's thoughts on how much liquidity one currently needs to set up a truly profitable #Lightning node from scratch? (without sugarcoating it) What yield can one expect realistically? Any resources would be highly appreciated! nostr:nprofile1qqstj30g2dal6t9r6d4vcwf7dn553tgggudyfedu9altzsyu75zxvxgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqy63fwy nostr:npub1q5sah9f3p9kl7uqdeaqskqwmg74ktxx70e0093dzh4lpzcp3t0mqzxky65 nostr:nprofile1qqsy6ckate4v2khzgpv5pavldups4x2wc2e7e324djxu2skvug8ydhgpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezummwwdshguewdaexw0z59x0

I’m convinced there will have to be a few more FTX like events before people take self custody seriously.

The energy in Lugano was palpable this weekend! Came away with a lot of inspiration and ideas. More excited than ever about what’s ahead for #bitcoin
