Still asking your friends for inbound Lightning liquidity?
This may seem like the easiest approach...
But it can cost your business in many ways.
4 reasons why you should avoid the ‘phone-a-friend’ liquidity strategy:
1. Centralizes the network - You create a closed loop of channels. Lightning’s strength is in reach, not cliques.
2. Limits your new customer base - Those private channels probably don’t connect you to new revenue.
3. Not Market-Based - You’re relying on personal connections instead of real pricing and network demand.
4. Your time is worth more - Manually rallying liquidity takes hours. You could just buy it and be done.
We now have a global Magma Marketplace for Lightning liquidity.
Use it. Build on it. Let economics do the work. 😉
