Nik Bhatia CFA charter holder and Bitcoin-native financial theorist joins me for discussion on the Lightning Network Interest Rate (LNRR) – a concept on how Bitcoin Lightning Network participants can earn an interest through routing fees earned on the Lightning Network. We talk:
- Background on Lightning Network and LNRR
- Node Accrual Rate (NAR)
- How LNRR and NAR will change with coming Lightning technology
- Challenges to the concept as is
- How it will evolve over time
