Gm ☕️☀️ Running a full Lightning node is still too complicated and costly for most people no matter how many of you keep parroting the "run a node" mantra that's been going around. Mmkay? Mmkay. 🫶

Morning☕😊
Yes, is right that is not easy.
But many forgot to specify WICH TYPE of LN node they should run:
- PUBLIC - for public routing, that indeed require a lot of knowledge, resources and capital
- PRIVATE - only for private use, with few private channels, connected to good LSP and done.
I wrote several guides about these aspects, but who really want to learn more about Bitcoin MUST read.
Bitcoin is not for the weak, is only for the breave !

Liquidity for opening channels is the biggest factor IMHO.
A 1M SATs channel is USD635 or so....
If your a value creator or small start retailer and need inbound liquidity this is a stumbling block.
After this channel balancing is another issue.
If you have the funds to open some good size channels, joining a ring of fire is a good place to start.
Why?
What is a ring of fire
I need to really make some time to read up on this
