Google. I was searching for something like "how to earn sats" and it led me to SN. 😂 I kept looking up "how to earn sats" on SN and found some opportunities, such as litstak, sats4liks, fountain and some faucets.

Since then I've been visiting SN frequently. I became interested in LN and nostr and learnt a lot on SN.

I don't post a lot; I mostly comment.

I think the answer is NO. The fundamentals have changed permanently. The Bitcoin (and cryptocurrency) market will follow the US economic and stock market cycles.

Great! 👍 Hope I can get an LN node running this year!

Insightful thoughts. Do you think Empery Digital and Sequans are worth investing in? I mean, buying their stocks.

Just use https://boltz.exchange/. But please do it when the Bitcoin network is less congested.

Thanks! I'd like to give it a try.

Using Neutrino as the Bitcoin backend should significantly reduce disk usage, right? Given the cost advantages, would there be any long-term issues with using Neutrino? Privacy concerns?

Something like LNURL based on NWC?

Great post!

LQWD has experimented with many things but still seems unable to define its core business.

reading nostr NIPs!

It reminds me of https://www.sats4likes.com. I hope it can find a path to organic growth. 😀

As a platform, Nostr is also subject to the constraints of network effects. The more users Nostr has, the more valuable it becomes, and the more likely it is to attract additional users. Clearly, Nostr still has a long way to go.

Just 3, Breez, Muun and Alby Go. Would like to try more!

Thanks!

I'm trying to store all of the nostr events with minimum cost.

Welcome!

Wow, that's a great project!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That’s an interesting perspective. I’ll keep an eye on how LQwD develops.

Thank you for the information! I'm getting interested in LQwD. It seems that LQwD has not yet settled on a stable business model. According to the news on its website, in recent years, LQwD has explored routing nodes, AI-driven channel management optimization, LSP, and Bitcoin reserves. However, when looking at its financials, the revenue for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years is only 506 CAD and 5553 CAD, respectively, which suggests that it might not be fully prepared for market entry. Additionally, there have been considerable fluctuations in its stock recently, which has also sparked my curiosity.

LQwD announced in 2023 that it was using AI to optimize channel management (link), but provided very few details.
