I’ve seen many Bitcoin influencers come and go at this point. Generally skeptical of people who just talk about bitcoin (there is only so much to say). End up unfollowing most. Wrong motivations, wrong incentives, weird outcomes.

The bitkey team has been doing the hard work that we need more of in the bitcoin space. It’s way above any L2. Problems that are not easily cut through with a new op_code View quoted note →

If we (Bitkit wallet / Blocktank LSP) allocated 1M sats channels to every user, it would require 1000 btc, ($65M) to have 100,000 users. Or, 10000...

My friends the secret to running an LSP is you don’t carry cost of capital for people who are filling up channels. Channel “depleters” or in other words, people who stack on lightning are paying for those UTXOs then paying to take them from you. That liquidity goes back to a larger channel that has bidirectional flow. LSPs are liquidity managers, having the mental model of this is important. An LSP only needs to keep capital in channels that are active and paying fees for activity, otherwise splice out. Inactive users can be the sole hodlers of their lightning liquidity. This does not mean LSPs do not require a good chunk of capital. This means as an LSP you have to know and think deeply about lightning liquidity

There’s a lot of things that they don’t tell you about having kids My favorite is the pacifier’s transition from something a child sucks on to go to sleep to a small talisman they take with them on their sleep journey.
