Show Notes

"Lightning has already achieved a critical mass. It’s already obvious how a Cashu subnetwork and Fedimint subnetworks will communicate with each other: Lightning. That’s how they were designed, so switching the common language between networks would require rebuilding most of their parts. Like English, whatever language subnetworks use internally, Lightning is the language they use to speak to each other, and it’s already locked in." ~ Roy Sheinfeld

Lightning is emerging as the common protocol, or language, for the entire ecosystem of Bitcoin subnets and payment technologies. Will this standardization accelerate innovation and adoption in the Bitcoin ecosystem? What implications does this have for the future of Bitcoin infrastructure and its competition with traditional financial systems?
