Opening a Lightning channel is like loading a Bitcoin gift card.

But better. 😉

You switch to Lightning once and now you've got immediate spending power.

Now you get:

⚡ Instant payments, 24/7 (no miner delays or confirmation waits)
💰 Super-low fees (can fall to 0.04% with efficient setups)
🔐 Preserved self-custody via your own node or a high-performance, enterprise-grade option like @voltage_cloud

Bitcoin that moves at internet speed and stays under your control. 👍
