Wikiversity Plans For Bitcoin’s Lightning Network Educational Videos

Bitcoin (BTC) Lightning Network is very controversial within the bitcoin community and cryptocurrency ecosystem. It is the leading blockchain-based digital asset in the world and has proved many wrong thus far, but as it stands the split between Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has been quite a damper on its momentum and progress. At the heart of that discussion, the main focal point and center of attention is the Lightning Network, a second layer solution that is supposed to enhance Bitcoin's scability and fees issue.

While we will not get into that here – there is now those who are trying to help others understand how to use Lightning Network and what its potential and possibilities can lead to. Here is how the Wikiversity Bitcoin Lightning Network videos would look like.

Series of Educational Videos to be produced

As it stands now, there are 30 possible titles for videos to be made about understanding the inner workings of Bitcoin's controversial Lightning Network. The titles are not complete and are subject to changes in the future with viewer interest as the main catalyst for providing the right information and education regarding this hopeful blockchain technology solution. The website is asking for feedback and recommendations as far as what users want to see and learn about. Anyone can create the videos and tag themselves, and if they go undone then user:renepick will produce each video in due time.

What do you guys think – one thing is for certain, the average user must start to understand how Lightning Network actually works otherwise the BTC led bear market could continue for many more months and possibly years if more adoption and use cases are not enhanced in the real world.
