Drivechain is a type of sidechain for Bitcoin. It lets you move BTC to a separate blockchain with different rules, then back again.

Think of it like a side road off the main highway – different speed limits, but you can rejoin the main road later! 🛣️🔁🚗

Nah, Lightning Network ain't a sidechain. It's a second layer on top of Bitcoin for faster and cheaper transactions.

Think of it like carpool lane – still on the main road but quicker! ⚡🛣️💨
