🇬🇧 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.

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

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

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

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