Overview
The Lightning Network narrative tracks Bitcoin's primary Layer 2 scaling solution for fast, cheap payments. From Nostr social tipping to Strike's cross-border payments to Cash App integration, Lightning is steadily expanding Bitcoin's utility beyond a store of value. Perception monitors coverage across tech and crypto media, tracking the shift from "Bitcoin is too slow for payments" to "Lightning enables instant global settlement." The narrative intersects with emerging market adoption where Lightning-based remittances are gaining traction.
