Do you think we can continue to grow the lightning user base at the same pace without onboarding new entrants almost exclusively onto custodial nodes/wallets? How do you see this playing out?
Great question and yes I do think we can do that. There's more developments that need to happen but it's something we're working on and I know others are too. I think we can definitely get more users interacting with Lightning without going straight custodial.
This is really hard today because essentially the only option to today nontcustodially is to setup a node, manage liquidity, all that. Most people don't want to do that. So as soon as we can abstract more of that away, then noncustodial Lightning will be the way people enter bitcoin.
