RE: The Lightning Network Is Coming Faster Than You Think

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Its only live on the testnet, not the main net. People might be using it on the main net but the developers are telling them not to because its still in alpha. Segwit is a great improvement that people are choosing not to implement out of ideologies. They dont really care because ultimately the cost is shifted to the user and they can complain and push agendas. There will still be a problem with lightning that would be getting people to adopt it, but I think ultimately in the long run businesses that dont will end up getting hurt. People arent going to use coinbase if another site charges nothing to send coins. That is the hope anyway
