Agentic payments are here

Why stablecoins belong on Bitcoin: If all fiat currencies are falling against bitcoin, the store of value becomes bitcoin.

If people stop accepting fiat currencies, the stablecoins also won't be accepted, only Bitcoin will.

Therefore, Stablecoins at best are transition currencies to flip the medium of exchange to Bitcoin. Not SOL, ETH, or TRON... Those aren't treasury-grade assets; they're speculative.

Anything other than Bitcoin as a MoE is a distraction.

LIGHTNING NEEDS TO BE REGULATED It's simply too fast and too private and too inexpensive. If we continue down this path, AI systems could replace card networks with machine to machine payments. Without any scaling limits, I grow increasingly concerned it could kill card payments.

Spinning up a new $USDT edge node if anyone wants to profit from the new stablecoin customers we're getting on lightning via

This node allows businesses to accept lightning payments and receive them as USDT.

Cashtags are a huge improvement on Lightning's reach outside of the Bitcoin community

Explain it to me like someone who doesn't roll dice

This is my favorite way to learn things now

Why do you choose to pay with Bitcoin when given the option?

Between the users of Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, Cash App, and more, there are approximately 900M users with the ability to pay a lightning invoice.

Lightning has won.

People keep asking me what I like about Switzerland and I must say that the Swiss flag is a big plus. https://npub18yvpnchj7yaepjk8yz2pn66hfmmup505aqvx0lpyc3aree0g5fyq8clpz3.blossom.band/789738d7e0097f4972ef3c7d33e57f48adcb481094f438d5728b8307eb221a26.jpg

Lightning is the only true DeFi.

As we work with Taproot Assets, it becomes clearer that decimal precision is extremely important for USD payments.

1 cent = 12.9 sats

USD should have 6 decimal places.

Bitcoin should take the FX market.

The Lightning Network is criminally underappreciated.

It's already got: Privacy Scalability Speed Cost Adoption

Imagine comparing it to theoretical upgrades to other cryptos when Lightning already exists on the most robust and reliable Blockchain ever—Bitcoin.

Protect customers by preventing phishing

Wow. I'm blown away by the response and we've received more signups than I had projected for the entire year. 🤯

By taking advantage of Lightning's HTLCs and Taproot Assets, we can make P2P exchange possible in complete self-custody. ⚡

Self-custody, P2P trading over the lightning network

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.

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.

2026 will be massive for bitcoin and

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

Magma.

This brings our payment processing target rate to 0.2% which supports real economic growth with efficient payments within the Bitcoin sector.

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

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.

#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

Send me your ramen tips please 😅

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

The total lightning node count trend did a sharp reversal in July. Obviously the tech has always been strong, but what changed in July?

It's pretty unfortunate that we collectively give so much attention to people that cause controversy instead of to those that move forward consensus.
