lightning just hit an all time high

not the price. the network.

5,637 btc locked in channels. more than ever before. and nobody noticed because everyones watching candles.

heres the thing... node count is down. but capacity is up. way up.

the hobbyists left. the builders stayed.

while price dropped 10% this week, binance and okx kept adding liquidity. tether invested $8 million in lightning infrastructure. lightning labs shipped taproot assets v0.7.

none of this made headlines.

satoshi didnt design bitcoin so you could watch it go up on a screen. he designed it so you could use it. send value. no permission required.

lightning is that vision actually working. instant. cheap. peer to peer.

so while everyones panicking about fed policy... the cypherpunks are quietly routing payments and building the future.

which side are you on?
