Curious your vision of the future regarding lightning nodes being run in the cloud vs. at home?
Do you feel projects like Umbrel will continue to evolve to the point where running a lightning node will be as simple as a home appliance by just turning on a switch.
10 years in the future what do you envision?
I think things are going to spread more than they already are. There's so much that's possible to separate various pieces of the Bitcoin stack. So I think over time there's 30 ways interact with the Lightning Network instead of 2 or 3. This sounds overwhelming because of the options, but there will be clear paths based on what you want to accomplish.
It's possible for the at-home node stuff to proliferate, but we're a long way off. There's so many issues still out there like liquidity, remote access, etc. We gotta make it as easy as using a toaster, and we're not close to that. So it's possible, but alluding to my answer above, maybe it's not every single thing running in your home node, but only pieces.
