Custodial yield platforms require trust.

Lightning routing doesn’t.

Avoid 3 major risks by stacking sats through your own node:

1. Counterparty risk – Custodial platforms take control of your Bitcoin. Routing keeps it in your possession—no intermediaries.

2. Regulatory exposure – Custodial yield accounts can be frozen, geo-fenced, or seized. Lightning runs on permissionless infrastructure.

3. Access restrictions – Centralized platforms can delay or block withdrawals—especially when you need funds most (BlockFi or Celsius sound familiar?).

Routing rewards node operators who keep BTC moving—without giving up control. 💪
