Rebalancing channels on your Bitcoin lightning node is one of the least understood and most frustrating parts of running your very own lightning node. On the one hand, if you don't have the right liquidity and the right liquidity, specifically moving in the right direction at the right time, then you are missing out on powerful sources of income by routing transactions.

And yet, on the other hand, Balancing channels can be incredibly expensive, incredibly time consuming and incredibly frustrating with so many failed routes. But what if I told you that this isn't how the pros do it? That there's actually a way to have all of this done intelligently and automatically by a smart piece of software... That knows how to calculate profits, how to find the best routes and automatically rebalances your channels based on a set of rules that you specify? Well stick around. Because in this video, I'm not only going to explain what rebalancing is and how it works, but also how you can do it like a pro.
