Summary

Location: Remotely
Date: Thursday 5th July

Role: Role: Speaker, Author and Educator / developer and Data Scientist

The Lightning Network helps Bitcoin scale. As a layer two solution, Lightning takes transactions off the base chain and allows for near-instant transitions for a small fee.

While Lightning Network is growing fast, there is still a learning curve to understand and use the technology. This series will go through everything from how the Lightning Network works, the improved privacy, and why Lightning is vital to Bitcoin’s success.

In this interview, I talk to Bitcoin Speaker, Author & Educator Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Lightning Network developer René Pickhardt. We discuss how the Lightning Network works and why scaling off-chain is so essential.
