🚨 HOT TAKE: Lightning is the new SWIFT
And no, it’s not because it’s “cool tech.”
It’s because it’s faster, cheaper, and now just as easy to use as traditional banking.
Let’s talk about why Bitcoin’s Lightning Network might be on a collision course with global payment infrastructure 👇
🔁 From Sats to Euros, Instantly
Using Lightning and services like Bringin, you can now receive BTC and instantly convert it to EUR.
Your Lightning Address (e.g., you@bringin.xyz) is tied to a vIBAN, so getting paid in Bitcoin feels like getting paid directly to your bank.
