"I believe it's necessary to return control of money back to the people." - Satoshi Nakamoto

Why whats the big deal in letting people know how big ya stacking?

opensats pays me to run core and to promote extremist core ideology such as sound engineering and peer reviewed, meritocratic development.

Hello everyone! I want to share my opinion on how much a node or multiple nodes in the #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork can earn for their owners, using the example of my own nodes. I will provide the figures as an annual percentage.

Currently, over approximately five days, the entire network of my nodes earns about 500,000 satoshis per day on average. This is an average parameter. 500,000 satoshis is 0.005 bitcoins.

The liquidity on my side across all nodes is roughly around 300 bitcoins. So, let's simply calculate the annual percentage. You can roughly calculate it like this: 0.005 bitcoin multiplied by 365 days divided by 300 bitcoins. Multiply by 100%, and it comes out to about 0.6% profit from fees, which are currently at 700 ppm + 1 sat base fee.

This formula does not take into account the costs for opening channels, which include on-chain fees for Bitcoin channel opening transactions, nor does it include various expenses related to channel closures, whether automatic or forced, cooperative or forced. We are just taking the net figure as if the same channels were open all year without any expenses. You should also consider the risks associated with annual node maintenance. These include hosting costs, creating backups, labor efforts, and the risks of node hacking, which could theoretically be hacked and have all funds stolen.

Is this a profitable venture? You decide for yourselves. I just wanted to share some useful information with you.

Goodbye!

Yesterday, net inflows into U.S. #Bitcoin ETFs surpassed nearly $1 billion.

Currently, around 450 BTC are mined daily, equivalent to approximately $500 million at the current price.

In other words, ETFs from just one country are already buying more #Bitcoin than the amount being produced each day — not even accounting for demand from retail investors, governments, or corporations holding BTC in their treasuries.

This is one of the main reasons why Bitcoin’s price has been reaching new all-time highs, even without signs of FOMO, euphoria, or a retail-driven surge. It’s also why many analysts argue that we may be witnessing the end of the traditional four-year correction cycles.

Earn, don’t buy…

🚨BREAKING: President Trump says that STARTING TOMORROW AT 9AM ET, PRESCRIPTION DRUG AND PHARMACEUTICAL PRICES WILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BE REDUCED BY 30-80% ‼️

Why?

bitcoin fees are a dynamic free market

block space is scarce and intentionally limited to improve mining and node distribution

as transaction demand increases so do the fees associated with sending a bitcoin transaction

this fee market provides decentralized spam mitigation

fees provide a real cost to spam attacks
