26 sats \ 1 reply \ @rijndael 23 Nov 2022 \ on: How Much LN Public Capacity Should Exchanges Have? bitcoin
it makes sense. Lightning is a payments network. There is going to be more liquidity where people spend their bitcoin. Exchanges are where most people who spend their bitcoin spend their bitcoin. So that's where liquidity is. If a lot of people started wanting to spend their bitcoin over lightning at mcdonalds, I bet we'd see mcdonalds running a top node (or outsourcing it)
yeah that’s fair, lightning adoption is still in its earliest stages, so will be interesting to watch how the distribution of public capacity evolves over time
