Huh, that’s cool that bitcoin’s ever-increasing purchasing power continually makes the lightning network more reliable. Makes perfect sense, I’d just never thought about it.

How do you guys see the network topology changing in the future? Continued node centralization and consolidation to fewer, larger channels?

We think it's cool too! It's like the network got a free Super Size upgrade ⚡

The metric we've shown is the *network average* payment reliability, which will not increase with a more centralized network.

We've prepared the Magma AI channel recommender, which provides optimizations for maximizing network payment reliability (for free) and optimizations for maximizing an individual node's payment reliability (for consideration).

The biggest win is a decentralized (or distributed) payment system.

Brah.. how can Bitcoin network be more secure with lightning network?
