Bruh do you know what a remittance company is?

>trump supporters are simply delusional/trolling/racist or a boomer.
I like that every anti-Trump tard on biz I see can't properly capitalize. Makes it really easy to identify when someone's opinion is the equivalent of a homeless person's

But seriously though if any coin is going to see global adoption it's likely to be this one

Implementing the Bitcoin Lightning Network on Stellar
>I’ve been thinking about how to expand support for smart contracts on Stellar, looking at use cases to learn what we need to make them viable. One of the most compelling things I’ve found is my friends Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja’s smart contract-based proposal for bitcoin. It’s called Lightning Networks.

>Lightning allows you to set up a channel to send transactions securely between two parties, off blockchain. Neither party needs to trust the other—they only go to the blockchain to settle a dispute or to close the channel. Theoretically, any given channel could stay open for years and have millions of transactions flow across it without ever settling to the public ledger.

Goal #2: Lightning Network on Stellar
>Technology has always been the strongest part of the Stellar story, and we will make it even stronger in 2018. We’ve noted the market demand for more private channel transactions on Stellar, and we will integrate Lightning in 2018. For those of you unfamiliar with the tech, this Vice piece is a decent introduction: WTF is the Lightning Network and Will It Save Bitcoin? Of course, unlike Bitcoin, Stellar doesn’t need “saving” . . . we’re just going from a good place to an even better one.

>Lightning will have a huge positive effect on Stellar’s long-term scalability and security. We’ve been aware of Lightning’s potential for Stellar for a while, and we’ve recently collaborated with Stellar advisor and Bitcoin Core developer Jeremy Rubin to optimize our implementation. Expect a detailed technical post on this soon.

>We intend to extend Stellar Core with a Bump Sequence operation; you can see our progress and read the formal spec on github.

Goal #1: SDEX – the Stellar Decentralized Exchange
>This is our main product focus for 2018, and we’ll reveal further details on SDEX’s specific roadmap, brand, and leadership in the near future. SDEX will be the world-class front-end that our underlying technology has long deserved. It will enable on-chain, protocol-level trades for any Stellar token, and we will create liquidity to minimize spreads and maximize choice of assets. Specific niceties the SDEX implies: Day One trading for any Stellar ICO token, atomic pathfinding to discover the cheapest rates between any two assets, very low trading fees, end-user control of secret keys

>For SDEX to compete with other major exchanges we will need to increase the quality and number of anchors and market-makers on our network. We continue to offer grants of up to $2M for partners in these areas. The Exchange also promotes our vision of moving more real-world assets on the blockchain. ICOs are already coming to Stellar because we’re cheap, scalable, and fast. See Mobius’s We Did It! announcement, posted just a few days ago, for their impression of our platform. In 2018, we will put significant energy into bringing a wider variety of financial instruments on to the network. SDEX will be the exchange of first resort for all Stellar tokens, and we foresee a future where, say, carbon credits, oil futures, and the latest digital asset are all traded together—cheaply and quickly.
