I've spent a lot of time researching and thinking about the economics of Lightning. Thanks to @nprofile…u02p & the @nprofile…ctjf for all the help with the report while also pushing out v13.
Looking forward to discussing this more.

Does this have less impact on price action if more people had self custody so they are theoretically smaller in size?

2026-02-06 04:14:10 GMT

Bo Hines is assuming there’ll be a handful of winners for chains and stablecoins. And that the rest will fall away.
And he also signaled that Lightning is in their plans. But their current focus is on distributing and deepening their USDT reach as much as possible to empower their users.

Bitcoin becoming more financialized isn’t a potential threat in and of itself.
The threat is from if adoption is largely through custodial and store of value focused products and services.
