Yeah if the only thing there is having a lot of Bitcoin, then no I don't think anyone in that position should be going out deploying it on lightning expecting any yeild. At those numbers it is more a liability than it is a wise investment. 

I don't think routing profits should be expected by anyone that isn't building products or services on top of lightning specifically around their node which is also routing. Can't just insert yourself into the network and expect anything.

Will Large Miners Operate Lightning Routing Nodes?

in this case i was thinking about public miners that hold bitcoin on their balance sheets, lots of companies with 100s or 1000s of BTC sitting idle right now.

that being said, i hear the concerns about lightning distracting miners from their core business and the lack of a competitive advantage.
