For all our new friends who are new to using the Lightning network or thinking about getting themselves a Lightning wallet.

So you're right into #Bitcoin, you've probably heard about the Lightning Network. ⚡️

Lightning Network is a layer on top of the Bitcoin blockchain that enables fast, cheap, and scalable transactions⚡️
It works by creating a network of payment channels that can be used to send and receive Bitcoin without having to wait for blocks to be confirmed on the blockchain

This means that you can use the Lightning Network to make instant payments, with very low fees. In order to use the Lightning Network, you'll need a special type of wallet called a Lightning wallet.

You can get a Lightning wallet from lots of different companies including Alby.. here is probably the most used..
