All this repackaged trash ends the same way. Is 0.35% APR really worth losing it all? Admittedly, I’ve not done a deep dive, but on the surface it seems the same grift as always, just enshrined with different buzzwords. #Bitcoin #DeFi # Thorchain https://bitcoinmagazine.com/takes/why-you-should-redeem-your-bitcoin-from-thorchains-lending-service

A honest question for those deeply involved with the Lightning Network: I’ve in the past few months been building and engaging more capital in my Lightning node, starting slow and essentially trying to learn the ins and outs before committing more to the process. I feel I have a pretty solid grasp now of the essentials at this point, have a little liquidity and channels open, and am now looking at deploying a significant amount of capital. My question is this: What should I look for in terms of risk assessment for my funds deployed? I’ve researched at least some of the basics, I’m mostly concerned with what kind of attack vectors could cause a permanent loss of funds? Thank you kindly in advance fine folks. #Bitcoin #Lightning #LightningNetwork #zaps

“It’s also worth recalling that the US is broke. People in bankruptcy typically don’t look to make major purchases.” Seems about accurate. But Hell, it’s not stopped the U.S. so far from swiping the proverbial plastic. #Greenland #economics #Bitcoin

On the surface these kind of developments seem like a good thing to me. Decentralizing AI and bringing that level of power to the power user at home seems like a promising development. It feels like the old models of massive centrality of power and control are slowly but surely devolving. A guy can dream at least. #AI #technology #Bitcoin #decentralized #Nvidia

This has been one of the most enlightening reads I’ve had in a LONG time. Maybe it was the lucid writing style, or maybe it’s just my first experience with breaking out of the traditional Western way of thinking, but it really opened my mind to a new way of viewing the world. Normally, when I read philosophical texts they are so convoluted and esoteric they are pretty well unreadable let alone comprehensible, but this guy really blew it out of the water. #philosophy #literature #nostr #bitcoin #plebs

I’m having one of those moments, brought on by having one of those days, where I’m thinking the baseline IQ of the population at large may have dropped to unrecoverable levels. It just seems like there is such a general lack of giving a fuck present in so many people I meet. Couple that with the generalized dystopian appearance of an overwhelming number of cities and locales, and I say to myself, can any of it be saved? Have we truly passed a point of no return? Is it even worth working to maintain? I guess in the end all I can worry about is myself and my own actions. Personal responsibility. Maybe that’s what people are lacking. At any rate, handle your business fine folks. It’s messy out there. #Bitcoin #NOSTR #zap #thoughts

As far as profitability goes with running a routing lightning node, it’s seeming the key is to only maintain large channels to keep rebalancing needs to a minimum, i.e. to accumulate enough routing fees before needing to rebalance.
