thank you for the post, I like your information you are the best, I will support you and I will follow you))

I'm new to cryptocurrency so this was a very interesting read, Thanks!

Hello  @ivanli. The explanation you gave on bitcoin lightening programme is  exclusively rich. Can you send me a link to join your cryptocurrency group. Thanks. Awesome post!!

The only worry I have with lightning network is how it’s predicated on participation by many people/nodes. With the increase in fees and slower speed over past year or so, most people have moved away from BTC as a daily payment method and as everyday we get more coins that can do the same or faster and cheaper transactions, I think lightning will find tough competition.
 At the same time, no other coin has the name recognition that bitcoin has, and with so many new people entering crypto space, putting out the lightning as soon as possible will probably be best because the new people will be able to use bitcoin for daily payments which for most noobs will likely be the only coin they have even heard of prior to entering crypto.

I heard from the developers you should not be using it as of yet its not ready.

How long is estimated until lightning network will be used? Because it seems like it is still very far away.

I didn't watch your video or read anything on your post. Can I have an up-vote please? Thanks.

thanks - very interested - keep us informed

I want to try this one. Nice one. Thanks for this information bru. ☺️

I knew that you would end up putting this type of video together. Thanks and much appreciated. I actually understand this stuff now. Not bad for someone who had no idea what all this stuff was about 2 months ago. Yaay for me. Keep the good stuff coming please.

Informative video but there is still the problem of price volatility, which means merchants will charge a high percentage to cover for the risk but will keep an eye on this though I must confess I would rather buy coffee with cash, 10 years from now I dont want to be that guy that bought pizza with 10,000 bitcoins  haha.

Very good network

The majority of my holdings are now in Bitcoin Cash.The bitcoin community is a great relief to several questions about bitcoin.

nice post...
i upvoted your post 100% please upvote me.

Amazing

very good yes

But the big question is: **what will happen when all of the BTC supply were all mined**?

Anyway, here's my take on the current situation of [Bitcoin being a bubble](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@introvertspeaks/the-case-for-bitcoin-a-necessary-bubble) and how we should react to it.

You guys are doing a good Jon.keep it up while we try to catch up with the innovations.

Insightful & revealing read.
But what's the downside of the lighting network?
As i am convinced it's not all positive...

Lightning network is not what I signed up for when I first invested in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in 2013. That you are both for lightning network and steem at the same time is very odd to me. Bitcoin was made to fight the banks, but now it is becoming modern banking system. This is not going to work out. Since the end of last year I do not own a single Bitcoin. The majority of my holdings are now in Bitcoin Cash. Lets see what happens when BitPay adds Bitcoin Cash. Do not say I did not told you so.

wow  It's so nice,  finally something goes well, @ivanli !   By the way does it tie up the parties Bitcoins until they finalize the transaction?

And thanks for the detail and including the extra videos as well.
