The Bitcoin Lightning Network has been gathering steam over the past year with a lot of help coming from high profile Twitter users.

Bitcoin Lightning Network is the answer to scalability on the Bitcoin network and since its introduction in January 2018 it has been gathering steam even having more active nodes than XRP, Litecoin and EOS combined to date.

Currently the Lightning Network holds an estimated $3 million worth of Bitcoin which is around 760 Bitcoin but back in January 2018 it held less than 100 Bitcoin this shows the amazing year the network has had.

But data sourced from longhash.com shows that the Lightning Network has around 3,700 active nodes on the network with both being dwarfed by Bitcoin and Ethereum having 10,603 and 7,580 nodes.

But don’t be disheartened by the data as the Lightning Network currently have over 600 more active nodes then Litecoin, XRP and EOS combined.

Lightning is here to stay and we can see it has the solution to Bitcoins Problems.
