There's just so much FUD being spread around this forum and so few users who actually take the time to educate themselves. All this does is un-arm yourself to being able to fight back against the worthless FUD. If you're a bitcoin supporter than do your homework and educate yourself so that you can help stop the spreading of the many bitcoin misconceptions.

Everyone should be aware that the Lighting Network has been implemented. While the process will take a little time, it's off to a great start (If you're unaware of the L.N. , how it works, or need further clarification please check out this short/easy read article - https://medium.com/@melik_87377/lightning-network-enables-unicast-transactions-in-bitcoin-lightning-is-bitcoins-tcp-ip-stack-8ec1d42c14f5).

One of the last blocks mined- (Block #509796) -minimum fee paid was 2.77 sat/Byte. This represents a fee of around BTC0.000005 ($0.05) for an average sized transaction.

Once the L.N. is up and running, when all wallets add it to their platform (as well as the likes of SegWit)..things will be that much brighter for an already improved bitcoin platform.

If you want to truly learn more about BTC and educate yourself & dont like reading.. you'll find no better youtube channel than this one: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJWCJCWOxBYSi5DhCieLOLQ

Great post man, I was really hoping that someone will really post some updates about the lightning network since I cannot seem to find some credible information about it other than people saying how useless it will be and how it is just a just for now fix while there is no real fix for the big problems of bitcoins yet. Also, taking the time to include links for further information about bitcoins is also a great job. This will really help a lot of newbies out there that are too lazy to do their own research about cryptos.

You deserve a merit so I will give you one. Again, thanks for the information op, have a nice day.

Np - but I feel obligated to do so to some extent. If you do leave a merit..I would not be upset about it Cheesy

thx
