Bitcoin transactions settled instantly without confirmations: Can this be reality one day ?
Since you used "settled" and not confirmed well this is very much possible, before people learnt how to double spend and all that...BTC deposits were settled almost immediately on some exchanges and gambling platforms as that 2/3 confirmations was pending this reflected on our accounts but a withdrawal was not possible until the required confirmations was attainable...but if it's confirmations getting instantly confirmed if not lightening network no because by design network wasn't developed this way...
