THE LIGHTNING NETWORK (LN) WAS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO SCALABILITY ISSUES WITH BITCOIN, SPECIFICALLY THE SPEED AND COST OF BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS. THE LN IS A LAYER-2 SOLUTION BUILT ON TOP OF THE PRIMARY BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN. BY INCREASING THE SPEED AND LOWERING THE COST OF A TRANSACTION, IT ALLOWS BITCOIN TO BE USED FOR EVERYDAY TRANSACTIONS SUCH AS BUYING A CUP OF COFFEE, OR "MICRO TRANSACTIONS" LIKE A FEW CENTS TO READ AN ONLINE NEWS ARTICLE. THIS INNOVATION ENHANCES BITCOIN'S POTENTIAL TO BE USED AS A WORLDWIDE 'DIGITAL CASH' IN ADDITION TO ITS USE CASE AS A STORE OF VALUE ('DIGITAL GOLD').
