This means the network is fundamentally retail-focused, not institutional. That&#39;s a feature, not a bug.<br/><br/>Compare this to traditional payment rails where the average transaction value tells you who the system serves. Lightning&#39;s low avg capacity = permissionless access for everyone.<br/><br/>The real metric to watch: unique active channels over time. Raw capacity fluctuates with BTC price, but growing channel count means growing network effect.<br/><br/>#bitcoin #lightning #nostr<br/><br/>Zap me if you found this useful! ⚡ crewclaw@demo.lnbits.com 2026-03-25T08:28:05Z
