Lightning Network and the future of Bitcoin
![lightning.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdF4prTefqXaBDc7UwF4B4G2q7oq329StDUrVoBVKndxm/lightning.jpg)

For many people coming into cryptocurrencies in the last few months, it was probably bitcoin's huge growth in 2017 what attracted them in the first place.

However in the last month and a half, we've seen a big pullback (I know, bitcoin has seen bigger and longer price "crashes") fed by rumours of new regulation in South Korea and a posible banning of mining activities in China. But above that, I think that the biggest reason behind this sluggish streak has to do with delayed transactions and growing fees.

This has given fuel to critics of bitcoin about it's scalability limitations and some people are even putting some doubts over the fact that bitcoin is no longer the cryptocurrency envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto in his original whitepaper.

After all of this, you might think that bitcoin has already peaked and that sooner or later it will concede it's dominance to some other cryptocurrency. But actually, some groups of developers had been working for the last couple of years in a solution.

That solution is called Lightning Network. A network of off-chain payment channels in which it would be posible to make instant transaction with lower fees.

But of course this intended solution has found it's own group of critics, citing that in some cases it would be pretty difficult if not imposible for some transactions to find a route to be completed inside the network or that to trying to solve this isue could lead to centralisation of the whole system.

I'm personally confindent that LN will be an effective solution to solve the biggest issues of scaling bitcoin as a payment form and that once it is fully implemented, it will propel it's use and it's price accordingly.

I hope that the Bitcoin devs do stop their constant infighting and do come up with a solution to Bitcoin's high transaction fees and slow transaction times woes before it becomes completely obsolete.

I agree with you. It is very expensive to do a bitcoin transaction. Hopefully Bitcoin cash and Ripple will able to help reduce the cost. More companies will start taking other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin may go down all the way to $5000 to find support, but once the LN and other security features are implemented, there is potential for it to recover rapidly.

Hi @johanalejo saw your post on the Vincentb Tag and gave it a like! 

I hope the lightning network will reduce network congestion. However, the whole "Off-Chain" thing might put some people off.

I just posted so if you wanted to like mine as well I would appreciate that. Anyways have a wonderful day

@cryptobeans ·
The "Civil War" with devs and Bitcoin is a two fold problem:
1- It brings attention to Bitcoin, keeping it in the news
2- the attention is negative and brings to light the fighting in house has gone on a long time

Instead of bickering and fighting, maybe they need to put together their own thoughts and see if a general solution to the problems that have plagued BTC could arrise.  Yes, I know that thought has been in play for some time too, but it seems at a stalemate.  Move forward, strive to take BTC to the next level and NOT down a level....or two

Thank you johanalejo for making a transfer to me for an upvote of 7.83% on this post! 

Half of your bid goes to @budgets which [funds growth projects for Steem](https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/introducing-steem-budget-proposals) like [our top 25 posts on Steem](https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/the-top-25-steem-posts)!

The other half [helps holders of Steem power earn about 60% APR](https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/new-automatic-daily-payouts-of-60-apr-for-steem-power-delegations) on a delegation to me!

For help, will you please visit [https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/](https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/) because I check my discord server daily?  

To learn more about Steem, will you please use [http://steem.guide/](http//steem.guide) because this URL forwards to my most recently updated complete Steem tutorial?

Once the lightning network comes, I believe bitcoin will be widely used and it may reduce the demand of several other coins as well.

I have tried to transfer bitcoin earlier this morning and I was shocked with the result. The transaction fee is much lower and the speed is a little bit faster. I don't if this is the effect of LN or just because of the low volume. Anyways, you can check it here https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@vhmcrypto/bitcoin-transaction-fee-and-speed-january-30-2018 and comment your thoughts! Have a good day!

I've checked that and there's definitely an improvement. But the perception is more important than reality in terms of markets behaviour. Maybe if this trend keeps up for a few weeks we'll see how it reflects in bitcoin prices

As stated in my last post, the LN is only running in the Testnet, the developers recommended to avoid using the Mainnet for LN, which net were you using?

Good thoughts man. You're kicking ass! I wonder if bots are really worth it, but I think you prove that they are.you certainly didn't buy 196 bots...so they are clearly helping you attract extra attention since you've only just started these last few months. So because of your efforts,I believe in this platform more and want to put more into it. Thanks a lot. Keep it up!

If a transaction can't find a lightening route, then it can always go back through the block chain.

Not sure what the issue is.

Hi, @johanalejo it seems correct to me, I'm also new in the bitcoins market, due to which I'm bearing loss at present. So that I'm just waiting for the right level to withdraw my money !!

I really don't know how long more do I need to wait for ?

Anyway thank you so much !!

@joooks ·
So what i think is that the whole China speculation regulation in South Korea coupled with the high fees are responsible for the pull back.
Even I have not used Bitcoin in a while because of the fees. I prefer to use Ethereum and certainly Litecoin. 

It would be fine if this Lightening Network can solve the issue.
If bitcoin continues to pull back and even "crash" it may affect other alt coins in a negative way.-And this we never want to happen.

For now we can only hope ETH and LTC will continue to achieve the aims of Satoshi Nakamoto and give us fast transactions with low fees.

I think if bitcoin does add the lighting network and it works smoothly then it will stay on top as number one for the next two years at least because when new people join crypto they join because of bitcoin and because its easy to buy i can buy it right down the street at a atm you cant but ripple down the street and its a little hard to use the exchanges for a new comer, thanks for the information i followed you and up voted it

@enochinc ·
You know I'm glad that you brought this topic to the Forefront. I will admit I've been worried as well as some people I know and friends of mine. About the Bitcoin declining price,I was under the impression  that there were some areas in Asia that may have had somewhat influence on the decline and price. And another thing that I would have to say has to do with people losing confidence in it is its low transaction time and ridiculous fees, (especially  on  sites like coinbase Etc),I'm hoping it can shoot back up to his previous highs love your major Improvement but I'm sure we can all get behind and all hope for.     
https://news.bitcoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/shutterstock_550971307-1.jpg

 I definitely second everything you're saying for the most part and  still have a little Hope and Faith that hopefully things will turn around.  and I definitely think this new LightningNetwork system will have a huge impact  in the cryptocurrency space and hopefully bring back some positive reviews and feedback for the number one crypto-currency!

If I had let my Bitcoin grow instead of withdrawing everytime it doubled my measly money in there I would probably have more of it than I withdrew last year. Oh well... Lesson learned.

Anyway this is an interesting thing. I agree that BTC fees should be something they should look into lowering but hopefully it will be sustainable or something.

How adaptable is LN? Does it look to adopt all currencies equally or is it designed for bitcoin? 

Centralization is bad (except for a few), but LN has got to be an improvement over the system we have now. I share your view that the full implementation of LN will be much more than the picture critics paint.
