The CryptoBasic team is happy to bring you a brand new series; 101 Updates! The world of crypto moves fast, projects evolve, markets adapt, and new problems emerge… and wherever the space goes we follow! And what better way to begin a new tradition than by returning to the project that started it all, the big daddy, Bitcoin. When we last covered this project fees where off the charts and the scaling debate created a fork in the community. Today the Lightning Network has finally been implemented, but has it been successful? And how exactly does it work anyway? Listen to this inaugural 101 Update to catch up with the King.
