Elizabeth Stark is the co-founder and CEO of Lightning Labs — a company that strives to take blockchain technology to the next level. Lightning Labs is a software layer on top of Bitcoin that will make sending and receiving Bitcoin faster and more efficient. It does this by relieving the congestion that the Bitcoin blockchain experiences due to high demand.
Stark has made an astute comparison for the problem. Imagine if you wanted to send an email, but in order to do that, you had to download and verify every email that had ever been sent. This is the problem users face when trying to send or receive bitcoin. This is something users have to deal with because Bitcoin operates on a decentralised network, so every transaction has to be verified and is part of a global consensus. Every node must agree. Technology like Stark’s is one innovative way developers are attempting to cure the Bitcoin blockchain’s issue of congestion.
