It's said that there's an untold amount of Manchurian Candidates in society and all it takes is the trained frequency being deployed to "wake" them up to do the IAs bidding.

Bitcoin’s UTXO model eliminated the double-spending problem, which has plagued digital currencies for decades, by making every transaction publicly verifiable on an immutable ledger. Unlike the opaque systems of traditional finance, where institutions can manipulate monetary supply and transactions behind closed doors, Bitcoin operates transparently, ensuring finality through cryptographic proof rather than institutional trust.
As long as we have good actors running core nodes, which is sadly only around 20,000 around the world, we also have that decentralized aspect.
The strength of the Lightning Network lies not in the totality of its nodes, but in the secure connection between each peer. Every transaction, every route, and every channel ensures that only the next peer is trusted to honor the promise. It’s this localized security, built on trust and cryptography, that makes the network resilient and unstoppable, one transaction at a time
I know lightning well, I host a node on alby
Any experience on Core?
