One of the Spanish hardware hackers has addressed the concern about Bitcoins hurdle and its adoption. According to the hacker, Bitcoins mass adoption as a payment system is due to its usability and instant micropayments. The hacker has built a vending machine that uses Bitcoin as a payment system using Lightning Network in order to dispense the drink.
This is an example of how the lightning network can be used into thousands of different services. It also acts as a demonstration of the open source nature of the blockchain technology. The slight existence of the blockchain technology helps make things possible.
