Silicon Valley has a proverbial dartboard with industries disrupted by tech

Travel, Hospitality, Music & Entertainment… 🎯🎯🎯

Finance remains an industry without significant innovation

#Bitcoin  challenges traditional finance without the need for Silicon Valley VCs

#LightningNetwork has experienced about a 4% drop in channels in the last month. Are node runners withdrawing to cold storage as price increases?

Either way, there’s opportunity for nodes to position themselves for better routing and increase their centrality

Remember this year when candidates make promises that elections often don’t fairly represent what is genuinely beneficial for society

“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods” - H.L. Mencken

In this high-fee environment more people should realize we don’t need a Coinbase L2 solution for cheap and instant payments when we already have #LightningNetwork

Just like people should realize we don't need X for free speech with we have #nostr

For 3 months the #LightningNetwork became 14% less dense before it started to grow denser again on June 10th. Reductions in density lead to slower and more costly transactions. Mr. Quiche remains bullish on #LightningNetwork having seen a consistent density increase since then #bitcoin

In the past 4 months the #LightningNetwork has experienced an average channel growth of 50 channels a day #Bitcoin

Binance just went from no #LightningNetwork presence to the 53rd largest node in terms of capacity #BITCOIN

Only a few rare 9-cliques exist in the #LightningNetwork

9 is the largest sized k-clique Mr. Quiche has found. For context, a k-clique is a subset of nodes in which every node has a channel with every other node in the subset. #Bitcoin

Typically when onchain fees are high the #LightningNetwork becomes more attractive to move liquidity but over the past few days channel growth is negative #Bitcoin

There are more channel closures than normal on #LightningNetwork the past few days. Is this just a blip or will the number of channels continue to decrease?

The #LightningNetwork continues to grow denser. This past month about 70 new channels were opened every day

This month the #LightningNetwork has grown by about 18 nodes a day with the highest rate of growth during the #siliconvalleybankcollapse

Mr. Quiche has observed some stats about the Lightning Network and it’s topology. It has 280 communities, determined with a network-centric form of community detection called the Louvain method

What’s to stop the bots from coming to Nostr?
