With this practical guide, authors Andreas M. Antonopoulos, Olaoluwa Osuntokun, and Rene Pickhardt explain how this advancement will enable the next level of scale for Bitcoin, increasing speed and privacy while reducing fees.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"ug0ikc-17belq-h0uqty-epwf6x\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; width: 965.781px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size:=\"\" margin-bottom:=\"\"\u003e\u003cdiv aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"140\" data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; width: 965.781px; margin-bottom: 12px !important; overflow: hidden; position: relative; max-height: none; height: auto;\"\u003e\u003cdiv aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; overflow: hidden; position: relative; padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: -4px 0px 14px;\"\u003eIdeal for developers, systems architects, investors, and entrepreneurs looking to gain a better understanding of LN, this book demonstrates why experts consider LN a critical solution to Bitcoin's scalability problem.
