hi!!! oh man i do not remember where i said this but yes i def do think that running an LN node will get progressively more difficult/expensive— dont wait to start if it’s important to you to have a self-custodial bank!

long term i think we’ll see a proliferation of ecash banks as a cheaper/more scalable way to stack + transact — i expect that owning UTXOs will get expensive!

Looking forward to the insights!
