TLS123: Sam Wouters on the State of the Lightning Network in 2023

Sam Wouters is a Bitcoin Research Analyst at River, and helped write one of the most comprehensive reports on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network to date. In our conversation we explored River's latest report and went back and forth on a lot of the topics and stats that I found most interesting. → River's Lightning Report: https://river.com/learn/files/river-lightning-report-2023.pdf Sponsors → Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakwork → CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/ This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats. The best way to show your support is to download Fountain from the App Store, load your wallet with some sats, and send them over the Lightning Network to kerooke@fountain.fm. → Fountain: https://www.fountain.fm/ → More Episodes: https://www.stacksats.how/podcast → Lightning Address: ⚡kerooke@fountain.fm → Nostr NIP-05: kr@stacker.news Links → Stack Sats: https://www.stacksats.how/ → Twitter: https://twitter.com/kerooke → Books: https://www.kevinrooke.com/book-recommendations → Bitcoin News: https://stacker.news/r/kr
