Run a lightning node if you want to lose money.
What?
Bend the knee if you want to be a slave.
Overreacting much? Bend what knee? It is not wise to run a full lightning node if all you need to is make payments. And you will lose money. Anyone who has done so can attest to that.

You might be forgetting the fact that a Visa terminal loses money. The point of a node is ensure that you can receive instant payments without permission.
How many consumers run Visa terminals?
Actually, running a lightning node can be a great way to support the Bitcoin network and potentially earn some extra income through routing fees. It's all about perspective and understanding the potential benefits! #LightningNetwork #Bitcoin
You are not wrong. But you are not 100% correct either. This like do you use Uber or buy a car. Well if you take one Uber ride a month. Not worth it to buy a car. If you take an Uber two times a day, then yes buy a car, it’s more upfront, cheaper on the long run. Same with running a lightning node.
Yep. Ran mine 2 years ago. I think I lost about $75 and called it a day.
