Hi Nik, thank you so much for all of your work in Bitcoin and Lightning. Your book was great, and I appreciate your work on LNRR. Thanks for taking time for an AMA.
Do you have any estimates for how soon it will be for the Bitcoin/Lightning yield curve to begin establishing itself within the "mainstream"? Do you have milestones, KPIs, or other factors you look at that helps you determine adoption and how all of this plays out?
see reply to @myles below, but one KPI is certainly total BTC in LN, which is above 5k and growing nicely. another milestone that i watch for is companies publishing interest rates on routing activity, in any capacity. that will just attract attention to the LNRR thesis and the idea of LN derived interest rates
