Happy Sat-urday Stackers,
Number go up is nice and all, but bitcoiners go up is what I care about. Recently we've seen many new Bitcoin community spaces popup - Terminus Electric Money Lab in Atlanta and Bitcoin Park in Nashville which join PlebLab and Bitcoin Commonsin Austin - and I couldn't be more excited. Building with Bitcoiners hits different.
Upcoming AMA: Max Webster, the founder of Hivemind Ventures will be doing an AMA Tuesday June 14th at 1pm CT. Max led SN's pre-seed, and was introduced to me by Oleg at Fulgur Ventures as "the most bullish investor in Lightning" he's ever met. Come ask Max anything (especially if you're a could-be Bitcoin founder)!

1.Lightning Network capacity has exceeded 4000 BTC. We can quibble over how much of this is active capacity (nodes are online with active channels), but it's a milestone nonetheless.
2.Umbrel received a HUGE update in v0.5 and as with all bold moves has some mixed reception. Notably, Umbrel is better positioned as a general purpose OS for self-hosting, and Bitcoin and Lightning are apps in the app store rather than core to the product.
