Love Odell but I think put more precisely there isn't a singular Lightning Network but many peer to peer networks. It is a network though or set of networks. Better yet, a type of network.

I'm not an expert on Lightning so if I'm missing something I welcome feedback on this commentary

The internet does not exists, but rather many links between distinct hosts, some connected with each other and some not.

Just had this talk with my friend today. Time to refer him this article very well done

Great article!

Lol so the LN protocol and many LN hubs and spokes in the different implimentations, nodes and channels
