→ Former marketing leadership at https://t.co/rwZ94Xa66b
→ Now at OP_CAT Layer, building programmable payment logic into Bitcoin
→ Deep experience across multiple crypto cycles

.@CashApp revealed at @TheBitcoinConf that they are getting 9% yield via routing on their Bitcoin lightning node.⚡️
This revelation caused us to look into our own situation (TLDR, 3.5%).
Thread 🧵 👇
A LN router can earn a lot if there is a high level of requests, even with a base fee of 1 sat. Let's say the node handles just 1 forward/sec, there are 86,400 seconds/day, so 86,400 sats made per day and 2.6mm sats per month. 1 forward/sec should be achievable on cheap hardware
Cursor’s agent just did the first fully autonomous Lightning payment on Bitrefill. 🤖⚡
Sonnet 3.7 found a product, generated a Lightning invoice via Bitrefill’s store MCP, and automatically paid it using ZBD’s wallet MCP. @zebedeeio
Instant crypto settlement, no clicks needed—still experimental, but might be the direction payments are heading.

���️ Lightning via Sati & Xverse!
We’re partnering with @heysati to make it easier than ever to spend BTC via Lightning. Soon you'll be able to connect your Xverse wallet, fund your Lightning address, and zap away.
No setup needed. 🧵👇
Tether CEO @paoloardoino says all of the L2s on altchains are not scalable and channel-based approaches like Bitcoin's Lightning Network are the correct approach.
Seems like there's a lot more interest recently in running a LN routing node. I got a lot of pushback to telling people there is money in routing, but peep at LOOP median fee: it's around 0.5%. So coins only need to forward twice to make 1%, or 20x to earn 10%. Looks achievable?
