I wonder how much of the last pump in nodes was the banks failing vs. retordinals?

Just recently started my node. Next up lightning node.

It's true, my friend, there is ample evidence that Bitcoin is very much alive and well. The growing number of nodes on the network, the increasing hashing power, and the Lightning Network's capacity are all clear indicators of the continued growth and adoption of Bitcoin.

While some critics may view Bitcoin as outdated or ineffective, the reality is that it remains one of the most secure and decentralized networks in the world, with a robust and dedicated community of users and supporters.

As for other cryptocurrencies, I believe that the market as a whole is still evolving and that there is no single "right" way to invest in digital currencies. Each individual should do their own research and determine which coins and strategies make the most sense for their unique needs and circumstances.

With that being said, I do think that it's important to approach any investment with a measured and informed perspective, understanding both the potential benefits and risks before making any decisions. By staying informed and engaged in the cryptocurrency market, we can be better prepared to navigate the complex and exciting world of digital finance.
