b'"Back when the iPhone was introduced in\\xa02007, few people thought, \\u201cwow this could really disrupt the\\xa0taxi\\xa0industry a\\xa0decade from now.\\u201d A\\xa0few technologies had converged by\\xa0that the point to\\xa0where everyday people could have a\\xa0pocket supercomputer with a\\xa0big touchscreen and a\\xa0high-bandwidth mobile internet connection, and this served as\\xa0a\\xa0set of\\xa0building blocks that could exponentially eat into many other industries, including allowing Uber to\\xa0come along and change how we\\xa0move across\\xa0cities. All manner of\\xa0individual hardware electronic devices became mostly-obsolete as\\xa0they became applications on\\xa0a\\xa0smart\\xa0phone.\\nI\\xa0view the Bitcoin/Lightning stack as\\xa0being\\xa0similar. The network is\\xa0still tiny and has a\\xa0lot of\\xa0development work still to\\xa0do, and nothing is\\xa0for\\xa0certain. But to\\xa0me\\xa0it\\xa0looks like a\\xa0powerful monetary network with a\\xa0ton of\\xa0upside potential over the next\\xa0decade." - Lyn Alden\\n\\nWe are diving into the third and final part of "A Look at the Lightning Network" by Lyn Alden. This will round out a lot of what the future of lightning may hold, how it is being developed and its process of growth, and answering some of the both valid and the deeply misguided criticisms of the network. Most of which that come from the crypto space, where so many projects\' very reason for existence depends on Lightning Network not working. We get into all of it, in Part 3. If you haven\'t yet go back and listen to Part 1 and 2, or you are going to be lost, I warned you.
