While the Bitcoin price is stagnant the Lightning Network is growing steady, despite the recent now fixed BTCD bug that resulted in quite a few stalling nodes and force closed channels for a day or so.
If Lighting continues to double every year, we are looking at a major widespread adoption within 5 years.
The Lightning ecosystem is quickly maturing and people are making money. This is the right time to learn and get involved in any way you can. 🙌
What is 4m?
4 months?
4 months would make sense
25% in total capacity over 4 month. Sorry for being inprecise.
And what had increased 25%? Transaction volume? Nodes? Lightning network public capacity?
I'm still looking for more places where I can spend using lightning. Still not easy or common enough.
The good thing is that it is getting better.
