Hello my fellow Steemians and Crypto investors,

I’ve been working today on a hands on article about how to do micro-payments on the internet with the [Eclair Lightning Network wallet for Android]( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.acinq.eclair.wallet.mainnet2). 

So far so good but it’s taking longer than I thought. In some ways Lightning Network reminds me of the early Internet, it eventually works, but you’d have to go through a lot of technical hoops just to send a simple email. 

Things have changed so much! Right? Now small children and their grandmas send emails all the time. With a swipe of their finger they can contact anyone, anywhere in the entire world in seconds. It's still amazing when you think about it! Well, the same thing is happening with payments, it’s only a matter of time now.

*My first Lightning Network channel ever has been created! It's now waiting for confirmation on the mainnet*

I can see the infrastructure being built and how pretty soon we’ll be sending and receiving micropayments over the internet without even realizing it. Mark my words. It’s coming! 

In the meantime I’m sharing these fun memes I created at [imgflip.com/memegenerator](https://imgflip.com/memegenerator) (while waiting for the confirmations on the Bitcoin main network to fund the channel) and some sneak preview screenshots of the advances so far with the Eclair Wallet app. 

Hope you like the memes and resteem this post! Also, please share your experiences with LN. Stand by for the full hands on article by tomorrow!

**What have you been doing this crypto winter?**

1. **Accumulating patiently like a professional hodler.**

2. **Panic selling like a hopeless noob.**

If you answered 1, go ahead and download Crypto Millionaire from the link below. This app will help you diversify in a smart way, especially right now that' it's such a good time to buy the millionth of supply of top coins on the cheap.

If you answered 2, sell everything and become a pimp. It's the only way you will be able to keep selling bottoms, haha!
