The case of use of the lightning network
The growth of Lightning's network and its widespread adoption may be the next major catalyst for adopting Bitquin adoption. As Forbes said Tuesday, Spanish striker Ricardo Reyes has recently shown how to use the Lightning network to buy bottles of Coca-Cola from a vending machine.

In a 42-second  titled "Coke Machine Accepting Pitcairn Payments Through the Lightning Network," Rees explains how easy it is to pay for certain goods through the new infrastructure layer. Although the vending machine is certainly modified, it does not reduce the ease of processing. In the video, Reis buys Coca-Cola via a QR code embedded in the Lightning network.
 the Lightning network had reached 10,000 channels with a total value of 100 Petcavins - a milestone in the search for instant transactions. These channels allow two parties to deposit funds and replace them in real time. The channel can remain open indefinitely to facilitate payment before adding it to the blockchain.
