Bitcoin Lightning Network - Will It Finally Be Treated Like A Currency

in #bitcoin7 years ago


Yesterday I talked about why the cryptocurrency market dropped 100 billion. Personally, my thoughts were that Bitcoin needs to get it's shit together. The transaction fees are way too high, the transaction speeds are tremendously slow, and virtually the entire market relies on it's survival. Well, the lightning network is here to save Bitcoin, and today we're gonna test it to see how fast it really is. Mind you, this is only done for testing and test networks don't really operate the same way real networks do. So don't assume that Bitcoin can make super fast transactions just yet. However, this test definitely is fascinating.

That's great, I'll give it a go tomorrow, too late here to do something that requires a little brain power :)
