1m sats is a pretty large amount to be moving on Lightning. Bear in mind that if Bitcoin even just overtakes gold's market-cap, that would be the equivalent of moving over $8,000, even though it's currently only a bit over $600.

That’s what I keep hearing lol (large amounts via LN, routing etc) but it’s weird - sometimes it works completely fine. I guess something like Boltz to Phoenix would be two large and well-connected nodes/channels, rather than my own channels with various LSPs. Still getting used to this 🤔

You make a great point though — that technically speaking, the number of sats one can move over Lightning is very large, and it’s just undervalued in dollar terms today. Great way to conceptualize it 🤝

Yeah, it's not just about your channel partners having a beefy channels, though. The liquidity in their channels has to be available in the direction you need it.
