Lightning capacity is shrinking while people saying "Lightning is getting more efficient" – sigh. No. The BTC price is rising, that's it.

That's exactly the obvious salesman narrative that makes people upset and feel like they're being misled.

Stop the cope.

CAPACITY is shrinking folks

make nodeing easy

build and they will come

maybe AI can run nodes

So it's just because there are too few nodes?

no

not exactly

lighting capacity is governed by amount of btc locked in channels

number of nodes influences number of channels

but the keybis in how nodes are connected

a few well connected nodes outperforms a bunch of poorly connected ones.

basically well connected nodes improve the network's efficiency and liquidity making it easier to find paths for transactions without needing to open new channels thereby enhancing the network's capability to handle more transactions

i'm no expert i don't even run a node
