Lightning wallets have collectively shut down. Is Bitcoin itself still safe?
LNbits issued an urgent warning yesterday: all servers must shut down immediately. Hackers are already on the move. One operator had 2.28 million sats drained within five hours, and the patch is expected no earlier than 10 p.m. tonight.
Let’s be clear: the issue is with LNbits software, not Bitcoin or the Lightning Network protocol itself. Hosted platforms have all shut down and are expected to recover within 24 hours.
The question is: if one wallet app is compromised, why does the entire ecosystem need to shut down as a precaution? When the patch drops at 10 p.m. tonight, will the bad news be fully priced in—or is a second wave coming?
$BTC is now at 74586, stuck below the 74850 daily pivot, with the hourly RSI oversold at 28. U.S. markets open at 21:30 tonight. If the patch is delayed, panic could spread beyond just Lightning wallets.
A: It’s just a software vulnerability; the protocol is fine. Buy the dip as soon as the patch arrives.
B: Wallets are all shut down and you’re saying it’s fine? Let’s wait and see.
