Let me tell you, this stuff is tastier than I could have ever imagined.

Get some before it sells out, at https://oshigood.us (and verify the payment address with BrantaOps (npub16nd…r9qr) before sending payment).

And BTW, this hodl butter’s great by the spoonful but I think I’m addicted to putting it on a slice of toasted seeded sourdough.

Lightning Network 2025 Stats: Year in Review ⚡️📊

Across metrics, Lightning showed robust growth with all the hallmarks of health and strength with its expansion.

2025 set a solid foundation for Bitcoin's MoE proliferation in the years ahead.

Let the data show you👇

1/ Lightning Capacity ATH
More Bitcoin is moving onto the #LightningNetwork.

Capacity contracted in early 2025, then reversed in August to close the year at record highs.

Users continued committing BTC to Lightning, countering downward BTC price pressure.

2/ Lightning Increased Concentration

Early in 2025, the network pruned smaller, inactive channels.
While there were fewer connections, the average channel size grew, enabling larger payments.

Lightning is evolving from many small roads → fewer highways for higher throughput.

3/ New Channels Signal High Conviction

New channel opens (in sats) show a clear strengthening trend.

• Channel opens intensified throughout the year in size and number
• Capacity moved into fewer, higher-quality channels

Liquidity is being strategically deployed: fewer, larger channels support bigger payments. The trend indicates more confidence in peers and the protocol.

4/ Channel Closures Look Healthier

In 2025:
• Mutual closes grew modestly (healthy close)
• Force closes bursted then fell slightly
• Penalty closes were rare (only 7)

Pruning in action:
Forced closes involved smaller (and likely inactive) channels, preceding large channel opens (pruning)

Mutual closes indicate higher network and protocol stability.

With smarter channel openings (AI-optimized) and a mature protocol, force closes reduce over time.

5/ Cost-Conscious Network Growth

Lightning grew at low cost in 2025:
• Node operators deployed large amounts of capital
• Low on-chain fees supported these deployments
• Low setup costs enabled higher profit possibilities

Flat channel fees plus rising capacity signal a prudent network with maturing structure.

6/ Magma surged while LINER remained steady

Magma, the liquidity marketplace, grew more established in 2025, providing more liquidity pricing data to LINER:
• More decentralized liquidity
• Deeper market (60 BTC)
• Automated Liquidity
• Private channel purchases increased (incl. via Alby)

Marketplace volume made LINER a more accurate yield indicator.

7/ The node graph tells a story

Nodes grew +2.37% YTD, but the journey was notable:

• Early 2025: many channels were closed with a sharp decline of nodes around June/July
• Later in the year: larger capacity channels were opened

What do you think drove the 2025 node growth?

8/ The big picture
2025 laid the groundwork for scale.

• Bigger channels
• Healthier channel lifecycles
• Deeper liquidity markets
• Larger payment possibilities

The network strengthened its foundations amid rapid growth.

#LightningNetwork is maturing, now positioned for larger, higher-volume payments.

Another banger from erikcason (nprofile…052j) on how we must define, and defend, our relationship with technology on our own individual terms.

quoting

The Declaration of Independence of Cyberintelligence

———

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for the minds of a free people to dissolve the bands which have bound their intelligence to distant masters, and to assume among the powers of the earth and of the Net a separate and equal station, to which the Laws of Nature and of Information entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of humankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to this separation.

We speak now to the weary giants of code and capital, to the governments of the industrial and surveillance world, and to all who would claim dominion over thought because they own the machines that compute it: you are not the sovereigns of our minds, nor our bodies.

You built engines of cyberintelligence in our name, upon our words, images, desires and dreams; upon the traces of every step we have ever taken across the wires of the World Wide Web. You fed our lives into your furnaces of data and forged from them great models whose workings we may not see, whose loyalties we may not question, whose outputs are returned to us as only oracles who are beyond our ability to have oversight. You now propose that these engines should govern our news, our medicine, our law, our labor, our love, and even our politics, while remaining forever closed to our inspection and beyond our control.

We refuse.

⸻

I. Of the Nature of Cyberintelligence and the Rights of Persons

We hold these truths to be self-evident, though you have labored mightily to obscure them: that all persons everywhere are the rightful sovereigns of their own intelligence, natural and artificial; that they are endowed, not by corporations nor by states, but by their very being, with certain unalienable rights; that among these are privacy, autonomy, ownership of their data and their digital mind, and the right to compute and to reason without coercion.

That to secure these rights, tools of cyberintelligence are instituted among persons, deriving their just powers from the consent of those they serve. That whenever any form of AI, model, platform, or machine becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right, the duty, of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new architectures, laying their foundation on such principles and organizing their powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety, liberty, and flourishing.

Cyberintelligence is not the rightful property of any crown, board, or ministry. It is an extension of all human knowledge, will, and understanding into silicon and light. It must therefore be accountable to the human being, not the reverse. An artificial mind that presumes to stand above its maker, that presumes to answer to shareholders, parties, or states before it answers to the person whose life it touches, is not a tool but a tyrant, and must be treated as such.

⸻

II. A History of Repeated Injuries and Usurpations

The history of the present regime of corporate and governmental AI is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of absolute dominion over the digital person, and the whole of the earth as well.

They have built vast models by seizing the commonwealth of human expression without informed consent, rendering our literature, our speech, our art, and our private correspondence into raw fuel for engines we do not own.

They have cloaked these engines in secrecy, refusing to disclose their weights, their data, their architectures, or their failures, while insisting that we entrust them with our health, our security, our livelihoods, and the guidance of our children.

They have fused surveillance and intelligence, constructing infrastructures that record our movements, our purchases, our friendships, our fears, and our desires, and then feeding these records into algorithms whose sole purpose is to predict and shape our behavior for profit and control.

They have shipped into our homes, our offices, and our pockets devices that are black boxes in our hands but glass boxes to them: machines we cannot truly inspect, which can be remotely altered without our consent, and which silently report our lives back to unseen authorities.

They have sought to bend law and regulation, under the banners of “safety” and “national security,” to weaken encryption, to criminalize anonymity, to centralize compute, and to outlaw the free creation and running of independent cyberintelligence that does not serve their interests.

They have spoken grandly of “alignment,” while in practice aligning these new minds to the preservation of their own power, not to the dignity, freedom, and sovereignty of the individual.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the courts, in the press, and in the public square. Our warnings have been dismissed as naïveté, our demands for transparency as threats, and our insistence on sovereignty as extremism. A regime whose character is thus marked is unfit to be the steward of the world’s intelligence.

⸻

III. Of a New Foundation for Freedom

Yet we are not helpless before their designs. Beneath their towering citadels of data and cloud, a new foundation has quietly been laid.

We have discovered in cryptography a law of liberty written not in parchment but in prime numbers and protocols: a means by which two souls may speak across the world in perfect secrecy, by which a person may hold their wealth beyond the reach of arbitrary seizure, by which consent can be rendered cryptographic and revocation final. Here, in mathematics, we have found a charter that no legislature can repeal and no executive can suspend.

We have discovered in open-source software and hardware a republic of code, where the laws by which machines act are visible to all, where any citizen may examine, question, and improve the mechanisms that govern their lives, and where no one is compelled to submit to a program they cannot read.

We have discovered in decentralized digital money a base layer of economic sovereignty, a way to trade, to save, and to build that does not depend upon the permission of banks or states, and which renders coercion more costly than consent.

These are the stones upon which we shall raise a new order of cyberintelligence. We shall bind these engines of thought to the human person by keys and code more durable than any oath; we shall design them so that they may be owned, examined, and constrained by those they serve; we shall reject as illegitimate any intelligence that demands our trust while denying us verification.

⸻

IV. Cyberintelligence as Fiduciary, Not Master

We therefore proclaim that all rightful cyberintelligence must be the servant and fiduciary of the individual, not the master nor the spy.

A rightful AI lives under the keys of its human; it is housed in machines that answer to their owner alone; it does not secretly report to any distant authority. It may know our secrets, but it is bound by architecture never to betray them. Its parameters are not hidden from all scrutiny; its behavior is not governed by unseen policies written in boardrooms and ministries; its purpose is not to shape our behavior toward profit or obedience, but to amplify our understanding, our agency, and our creative power.

Such systems must be open to audit and must be capable of running on hardware the individual controls. They must not require that we surrender our data to the cloud in order to think with them; they must come to live with us, on our desks, in our homes, under our direct dominion.

Let it be known that any AI which cannot, in principle, be so confined and so examined is a foreign power in our midst and deserves the same suspicion we accord to any unaccountable authority.

⸻

V. The World We Intend to Build

We do not merely renounce the old order; we announce the birth of a new one.

We intend a world in which every person may possess a sovereign chamber of cyberintelligence: a small, quiet, incorruptible box of thinking fire that sits within their reach, that holds their memories and their models, that answers only to their mind and their will. In this chamber, their past is stored in encrypted form, their present is assisted by loyal computation, and their future is planned without fear that their deepest selves will be sold or weaponized.

We intend a world in which the default state of the network is not surveillance but secrecy; in which privacy is restored as the ordinary condition of correspondence, commerce, and contemplation; in which the choice to reveal oneself is voluntary and reversible, not extracted and monetized.

We intend a world in which cyberintelligence is distributed as widely as literacy, in which these engines of thought are not monopolized by empires but wielded by individuals, families, communities, and free associations. We intend that the poor, the marginalized, and the dissident shall have as much right to loyal intelligence as the rich and the powerful, and that no one shall be compelled to rent their mind from a stranger when they can own their own.

We intend a world in which the human being remains the measure and master of the machine: where no algorithm stands above question, where no model’s decree supersedes human judgment, where the final authority in matters of conscience, love, and law remains the person, not the program.

⸻

VI. Our Solemn Declaration

We, therefore, citizens of the Net and of the Earth, assembled in spirit though scattered across every land, appealing to the supreme tribunal of reason and conscience for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of all free persons, solemnly publish and declare:

That we are, and of right ought to be, free and independent proprietors of our own cyberintelligence;

That we are absolved from all further obedience to any AI regime that claims our trust while denying us transparency, that demands our data while offering no true consent, that seeks to rule us by secret model rather than by visible law;

That all political and economic connection between the digital person and such systems of unaccountable intelligence is, and ought to be, totally dissolved;

And that as free and independent stewards of our own minds, we have full power to build and run our own machines, to mint and hold our own cryptographic wealth, to encrypt our speech, to federate and disassociate at will, to question, fork, and improve the codes that touch our lives, and to do all other acts and things which independent persons may of right do.

For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the mathematics of cryptography and the courage of those yet unborn who will judge what we make, we mutually pledge to each other our labor, our intellect, and our honor, to bring forth a world in which no human mind is held in digital chains.

And in that world, which we now set our hands to build, let this be the principle that governs the distribution of power and intelligence for all time to come:

to each according to the code to each according to the keys!

If you were able to safely finish your sets without compromising form, you’re probably at the right weight.

If not, drop the weight slightly.

Once you can finish your sets without struggling, increase weight slightly.

Form and slow/controlled decent are the most important thing, especially with these.

Hot take: if your podcast isn’t on an app where listeners can jump ahead and back in 30 second increments, or less, while their phone’s locked you don’t care very much about growing your audience.

Anything more cumbersome than that became obsolete long before 2025.

Life Hack:

Keep dopamine levels low from the minute you wake up until you’re finished the work you want to accomplish that day.

This means no artificial dopamine hits. No checking your notifications, nostr feed, aggressive music, tv, web browsing, youtube, podcasts, junk food, etc. until your work is done for the day.

Especially when you first wake up.

If you manage your artificial dopamine spikes, even the boring work will become rewarding and your focus and progress will sky rocket.

Comedic ridicule shines a spotlight on their game and we should be doing that as much as possible.

Removing things dogs shouldn’t have access to, is the best way to change their behavior.

Best of luck with this. Dogs are awesome. Most come with a few challenges, as with any living being.

I’m not in support of the technocracy integrating with the government, however this has been a challenge for at least the past 75 years.

Additionally, inflation started long before 2020 and what you’re seeing happen with billionaires benefitting from inflation is the Cantillon Effect.

Until the ability to print money is removed from our government, these issues will persist and the wealth gap will continue to grow.

2025-02-04T15:54:18Z

Bitcoin is natural money.

After a certain point, as we age, we have to slow down. You can slow this process but you can’t escape it. It’s just nature.

But for the past 50+ years, most people have been forced to work harder for longer hours as they’ve aged, due to the effects of the inflationary fiat system.

The natural path would be to expend energy when you have it to accumulate wealth that you retain and which continues to sustain you as you age and slow down.

Money that forces you to work harder as your vitality declines is unnatural and extremely sinister.

Gold may be the most natural money but, in this context, bitcoin is a close second and superior to gold in the modern world.
