We're building Blocktank to demonstrate that it's possible to use Lightning reliably with no compromises. 🧱
Our mission is to make the experience of using Lightning in a self-custodial way similarly easy but fundamentally different from the custodial one.
We developed Blocktank to make #Lightning as seamless for Bitcoin users as IPv4 is for anyone accessing the internet. ⚡

The Lightning Network is the best solution we have to scale Bitcoin transactions and could be one of the primary payment methods people use in the future. 🌐
However, it comes with tradeoffs.
🧵
Lightning Service Providers (LSPs) play a similar role to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). 🌩️
ISPs let you access the internet without having a direct backbone connection (which is costly and complex).
LSPs provide you with liquidity and abstract the intricacies of Lightning.
