Happy Monday, we're enjoying like the 4th day in a row of sunshine here in West Michigan. It's rare this time of year so am going to make sure I take advantage of it outside today.

Full nodes drop again for the 4th straight week! We're at the lowest level since I've been doing this well over half a year ago, now down almost 15% since ETF launch. Anyone know what's going on here? #asknostr

Not a lot else to speak of but I think the above is an important metric to continue monitoring. The LN nodes and capacity stats have barely moved from #mempool.space in like well over a month, not sure what's going on there but I don't really trust those numbers right now. Routing activity volatility continues, both fees and events over doubled from the previous week. No clue as to how or why these stats move the way they do but I guess it's fun to monitor.

I'm a little cautious here on price action at least through the halving. We can't seem to get back over the $43k mark decisively and quite honestly need a couple months of consolidation in my opinion. Plus, the USD and interest rates are quite honestly scaring the shit out of me right now. Long term, nothing changes but short term we know a strong dollar an increase in rates are not friends of any commodity, especially the orange coin. Let's see. (queue a run up to $70k now that I've said that???)

Have a great week!

I have three full nodes currently offline as I'm moving around exploring options. Not saying this is the answer but I do wonder if nodes do come and go depending on how nomadic people are. In my case it's a bit of laziness in the short term!

For sure, I can understand that. I’ve been watching it each week though and that’s like 4 weeks of pretty solid declines in # of full nodes. Since this ETF

Yes you are likely right. A lot of half baked bitcoiners are likely to roll over throughout this bull run and just hold an ETF claiming it's 'all too hard' re nodes. Tis the season for weak minds. Technologically we are likely to see a lot of advancements allowing nodes to be baked into many dual purpose widgets so I'm not fearful of the long term growth trajectory in nodes.
