Mischa on Nostr: Lightning transactions don’t necessarily need to be profitable to be valuable. ...
Lightning transactions don’t necessarily need to be profitable to be valuable. It’s not essential for every payment to offer a financial incentive for processing. Often, it’s sufficient for companies or organizations to gain access to the payment network by operating a node. The primary incentive for running a Lightning node is participation in the network, rather than direct profit. Even so, this approach remains significantly cheaper than traditional transaction fees. This is what makes the Lightning Network so powerful and appealing.
