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. 😉
