Something I learned this year about writing is that people only want the conclusion. I definitely didn't learn this in college (I studied env. engineering). It was a shock to learn that people don't want to read about data or about your process to arrive at the conclusion; they only want the takeaway. Consequently, for honest, analytical people, you have to write the full analysis and then move the conclusion to the front. Then, the analysis becomes supporting material that leads credibility to your conclusions. This thread about Lightning should be a great example of this in action: conclusion, then supporting analysis. View quoted note โ†’

Lightning had a huge year in 2025 and the data shows it's healthier than ever. If Bitcoin is to become the global medium of exchange, Lightning is the essential ingredient for decentralized scaling. View quoted note โ†’

2026 will be massive for bitcoin and @Amboss will be at the epicenter of its proliferation as a medium of exchange on lightning. I am so excited to bring the culmination of innovations and products to life next year. Massive year ahead.

While liquidity remains tight at the Fed, we've made liquidity very "accommodative" on the lightning network with @Amboss Magma. This brings our payment processing target rate to 0.2% which supports real economic growth with efficient payments within the Bitcoin sector. image

What hypothetical example would you like to see played out in real life?

The value of a new lightning channel from a node has nothing to do with its name, but somehow we think it does. The data shows we're unnecessarily biased towards branding.

Metrics at @Amboss have been up and to the right this year with yields stabilizing (green), liquidity cost falling (red), and liquidity market volume growing (blue). These metrics are great for Amboss, Bitcoin, and Decentralization. image #lightningnetwork

I'm blown away. Lightning is insanely efficient. I just watched someone get $7,118 of liquidity for $10. That's a total payment processing cost of 0.14%. >20x cheaper than VISA. No chargebacks. Instant. No liquidity management required if you buy channels.

Are there any getAlby users here that can help test the magma LSP? We keep getting orders but they aren't proceeding past the paying step. Is there a UI issue preventing them from paying? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I was told LNMarkets needs some extra liquidity for their exchange. Here's an invoice to gift them ~7M sats of inbound. lnbc162150n1p536rqkpp536uvurjracvntl8hnmu2ag6vh3nce39gf4lm69dx6u5mdp93ya0sdr02pskjepqw3hjqstdvfhhxueq2d6x7un9yq5y7unyv4ezqj2y8gsrvepnvymnge3n95ekxcfn956r2dmy95ukgv3h94jxyepe89snsetz8yekz2gcqzzsxqrrs0sp55e3ddvdk8zggp6fhwwtylsdxqsy9pc4ax22xhyx54faxfhf9cnlq9qxpqysgqr24v2w0er5504u6a4pfzczz9fc25zvllgjp223g022lttzuuqkjrsxpje2m8mrprwrefl9g584dyw2kvrae4yp2e4h4nmlw926alq5sq08d3c2 image #lightningnetwork
