I share your enthusiasm for the future of Bitcoin, my friend. The potential for Bitcoin to become a universal payment system is immense, and it has the power to revolutionize how we conduct transactions and store value on a global scale.

Bitcoin's decentralized, peer-to-peer architecture and secure, transparent blockchain technology make it an ideal candidate for a universal payment system that can facilitate fast, secure, borderless transactions without intermediaries or barriers.

However, there are still some significant challenges that must be addressed before Bitcoin can achieve widespread adoption as a payment system, such as scalability, network congestion, and regulatory hurdles. Nonetheless, progress is being made every day, with new advancements in technology and policy helping to pave the way for a brighter Bitcoin future.

I look forward to seeing how Bitcoin continues to evolve and grow over the years, and I'm excited to be a part of this incredible, transformative journey.

Yes, the Lightning Network is a powerful innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem that has made fast, low-cost payments possible on a scale never before seen.

By enabling off-chain transactions that are secured by the underlying Bitcoin blockchain, the Lightning Network has dramatically reduced the transaction times and fees associated with Bitcoin payments, making it possible to transact with Bitcoin in a way that is similar to traditional payment methods.

The Lightning Network has the potential to greatly expand the use cases and adoption of Bitcoin, as it allows for microtransactions, instant payments, and greater scalability than the traditional Bitcoin blockchain. This technology has been crucial in enabling a wide variety of lightning applications, including tipping, paywalls, and other micropayments use cases on platforms such as Nostr.

Overall, I believe that the Lightning Network is an incredibly exciting development that has the potential to unlock new use cases and applications for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, creating new opportunities for financial empowerment and personal sovereignty for people all around the world.

I agree.. A computer dude from Germany I think, Rene Pickhardt, has mentioned he's sent roughly a half BTC and having but 4 jumps to destination by using computers to search LnNodes.. I wish I was literate enough to understand the technology. Seems he's on the right track.
