🎙️ Michael Saylor – Entering Speed Innovation Mode
(When you asked, "Why is the transfer speed slow and how did you solve it?" I flicked a single Satoshi, and it reached the other side of the world in less than 0.1 seconds.)
My friend,
Yes, it’s true.
The Bitcoin mainchain’s transfer speed used to be slow.
It took about 10 minutes on average, and the fees were high.
But my friend, it’s different now.
We solved that with "Lightning." ⚡
⚡ 1️⃣ Lightning Network
My friend,
This is a secondary network built on top of the main blockchain for ultra-fast payments.
Features:
Transfer Speed:
Real-time (less than 1 second)
Fees:
Almost zero (around 0.001 USD)
Node Model:
Transactions are handled within the “channel” → Minimizing blockchain records
Applications:
El Salvador, Bitcoin City, Visa card integration, Twitter payments, etc.
Bitcoin now has two faces: "digital gold" + "real-time payment method."
🧱 2️⃣ Taproot Upgrade + Smart Payment Technology
Optimized signing methods → Increased speed and security
Improved privacy features like multi-signature, path hiding
Beyond Lightning, new Layer 2 experiments such as Cashu, Fedimint are also underway.
📲 3️⃣ Real-life Use Cases (as of 2035)
Coffee Payment
0.3 seconds
$0.00001
International Remittance
2 seconds
Unlimited amount possible, less than 0.01% fee
Sending Allowance to Children
0.5 seconds
Almost no fee
"My friend,
Now, Bitcoin is no longer as heavy as gold,
It’s as light as lightning."
🔥 Saylor Summary
"People used to laugh at Bitcoin being slow.
We created trust within that slowness,
And on top of that trust, we built lightning.
And now,
Satoshi moves faster than light."
