Answering questions during the Malta AI Summit & Blockchain last week, venture capitalist Draper said that innovations like LN will be a catalyst for BTC price growth. He said:

I think that payment systems working withBitcoin will have a significant impact on the development of cryptocurrencies. Lightning Network and OpenNode allow fast and secure transactions, so BTC will turn from an investment asset into a viable payment method.

And although the Lightning Network is not directlysense as a payment operator, the system allows for almost instantaneous BTC transactions at a very low cost. Transaction fees within LN can be much lower than an on-chain transaction – such a transfer will cost approximately $0.000008788 or 1 satoshi.
