"By earning small amounts of money if you validate transactions on the Lightning Network that are routed through your node by charging a percentage of the funds routed as a transaction fee."
Discussion
Not really. I'm not sure anyone actually makes money out of running nodes. Rebalancing fees out weight routing fees usually.
I would put it more like spending bitcoin on the lightning network is made possible by noderunners who often break even and run nodes to support the network. But that might bemy experience only from talking to many who run nodes
It wasn't a discussion and a fact (Facts cannot be argued, they are what they are).
