Compared to a simple onchain transaction, I 100% disagree.

This video of by the creator of ARK is what led to my misunderstanding. Timestamp.

So becoming a LSP is similar to NOSTR. Anyone can run their own relay making it permisionless in that sense.

Whats stopping me becoming a LSP?

I don't really have much liquidity on lightning to provide. I just have some sats for nostr which I play around with for fun micropayments.

Thanks again. My misconception was becoming a LSP required a certain level expertise and setting up commercial enterprise almost to be compliant as I saw becoming a LSP as entrepreneurship type venture.

So eventually anyone with excess liquidity will be able to become a LSP?

And LSPs are safe from government regulatory capture?

Thank you for your answer Super_Testnet. I am big fan of your work!

I am interested in this role.
