 The Lightning Network is a fast processing platform that both Bitcoin and Litecoin utilize. It is this fast and inexpensive Lightning Network that credit card companies are going to utilize to merge with crypto currencies and the blockchain. Master Card is a heavy sponsor of the Lightning Network. Very soon, people will be swiping their credit cards and not be aware that the transaction behind the scene is being processed using LTC or BTC and blockchain technology. The 5G technology is also part of this tech revolution. For over two years, research and development has been going on, full speed, with regards to the smart contract and lightning platforms. The past two years has not been very exciting for the man on the street regarding the technology development but it is huge for the global scene. All major financial institutions are making the transition to cryptos and the blockchain. Much of this is taking place without media attention or public announcements. Make no mistake, big developments and price jumps are coming this summer for the crypto industry. It will not stop this summer either. 2019 will be an even bigger year than 2017 and 2018. By early 2019, we will see 7% to 10% of the world's population using crypto currencies. The crypto market cap will be well over $1 Trillion dollars by the start of 2019. Platforms such as Litecoin and Bitcoin will be the beneficiaries of the global financial system utilizing the Lightning Network. We will also see other utility tokens take off this year and reach all time new highs. Watch for great growth in Ethereum, OmiseGo, Cardano, EOS, NEO, Stellar Lumens, Dash, Lisk, Qtum, VeChain, VERI, SALT and many more. Everything will be effected by the blockchain technology. The Fin Tech revolution is on solid ground. Great changes will take place in the entertainment, recreation, education, medical, transportation, manufacturing, farming, construction, government and more. The changes will be for the better as far as transparency, speed and efficiency. Blockchain will help remove the middleman, save money and increase the peer to peer global experience. image from: atbcoin.com
