LangChain 🦜 BitcoinTools

I've just checked out Kody's tutorial and apart from my own mistake uploading my macaroon and tls.cert everything worked exactly as shown in the video.

Having previously tried to make sense of the documentation at : https://github.com/lightninglabs/langchainbitcoin Kody's demo helped a lot.

Coming from a Python background this is a chance to learn and develop skills related to Bitcoin. One thought I have is that there will be increasing demand to expose LangChain code as API endpoints. I've recently tested "LangCorn" and "Lanarky" both built on top of FastAPI.

In the past I had used Nigiri https://github.com/vulpemventures/nigiri#-nigiri-bitcoin to test experimental scripts but to be able to use Voltage and a 'real' lightning node with LangChain was a great motivation to keep learning more LangChain. Ps. If anyone hasn't tried "PAL" chains in LangChain, I think that they are one of the more interesting chains.

Many will learn "AI" and even LangChain with no specific goal in mind, and no specific domain knowledge. Going forward, just being a great coder is no guarantee of work/income/demand, but combined with domain knowledge ('Bitcoin - not Crypto') it will always open new doors and expand your horizons.

Confession, I didn't know what Macaroons were until 2 weeks ago!

Thanks for reading, and try out Kody's Repl!
