Bitcoin is the gold but a gold that can easily spend in everywhere with the help of Lightning Network.
You mean digital gold?
Of course, adoption is really going. Everyone wanted to get a hold of this so-called digital gold. And just like any assets, it has problems and LN is the much anticipated solution to it.
We are still the bearish trend, sad to day and it will take months to be able to recovery. It might be that LN could be considered by others as catalyst, but it needs more growth, more adoption in order to help the price to reach $6k. But I guess, if there is growth around the corner, there could be other factors as well that can contribute, not just LN.
