Crypto ESCAPE: Lightning Network is gaining popularity on Twitter.

Fidelity Investments has transferred Lightning Torch, a kind of alternative to the Olympic torch in the crypt. Recall, this is the name of the flash mob using the Lightning Network, started by crypto enthusist Hodlonaut. He was the first to send a small payment of 10,000 Satoshi to LN to his friend, who had to add 10,000 Satoshi and transfer the money further down the chain.

The analogy with the Olympic torch is extremely simple. If a user receives a transaction during a flash mob, he must add 10,000 satoshi from himself to its amount and send the crypt to his friend. This moment is also important, because if you send bitcoins to a stranger, the likelihood of the chain breaking is high.

Hodlonaut started his flash mob more than a month ago, but during this time no one has interrupted his initiative. People continue to pass satoshi to each other, and the amount itself grows like a snowball.

It was even conveyed by the Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. An elderly 88-year-old grandmother of one of the participants of the cryptocommunication community reported on one of the transactions. From the hands of the Fidelity Lightning Torch went to the Harvard School Blockchain & Crypto Club. Local fans of the blockchain are preparing to hold a conference at the university dedicated to cryptocurrency.


In the foreseeable future, the Lightning Network user base may well grow to a global scale. Given the rapid development of technology in 2018, she could not stop even the longest bearish trend in the history of Bitcoin.

The appearance of Fidelity in a flash mob indicates the real interest of large investors in the crypt. Recall that in the management of the company is over 7.2 trillion dollars of assets. Last October, Fidelity announced the launch of Fidelity Digital Asset Services, a special platform for working with capital of significant market players.
