🇬🇧 Pill 💊 #9 – Lightning Network in 5 lines

The Lightning Network is a second layer built on top of Bitcoin that enables instant and near-free payments.

⚡ Instead of putting every transaction on the blockchain, users open private channels between each other.

⚡ Inside these channels, they can send Bitcoin instantly with minimal fees.

⚡ Only the channel opening and closing are recorded on-chain.

End result? Bitcoin becomes as fast as sending a message.
