Bitcoin's Lightning Network (LN) has been criticized for centering too much power in the hands of developers and large hub nodes. This can create a situation where centralized miners and developers control the network, decreasing its decentralization and censorship resistance. In contrast, Nano is a completely decentralized digital currency, meaning that it is not controlled by a single entity. Nano also makes transactions significantly faster and more efficient than Bitcoin, while being infinitely more scalable. With its unique block-lattice architecture and lack of transaction fees, Nano's low-latency and fee-less transactions make it a much better option for day-to-day payments than Bitcoin.
