If large institutions are looking into this then I think it makes more sense for all of us to look into this space. - BharatIt was never a thought for financial services that they need to change their product. - BharatSo this whole new field has opened up for startups to raise capital. And how this is happening is because of that same underlying technology, and that's what I call digitisation of the product. - BharatThese networks are not designed for transit. These networks are designed for settlement. So I call it the base layer. Layer one networks are nothing, but it's a settlement networks. Whatever you need to do on top of it, that is your transaction layer. So transaction layer has to be very scalableNow they are building, and I believe that ecosystem will definitely thrive and then scale again, because Bitcoin would not just become a store of value, it will also become a transaction mechanism. - BharatResources:BlockchainEthereumBitcoinLightning NetworkCharles SchwabConnect with Us Join the Web3 Innovators community and engage with like-minded individuals passionate about the potential of blockchain technology.Contact Chainlens: Twitter | Discord | Telegram Explore Chainlens Email Chainlens Contact Web3 Labs: Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | Discord | Tiktok Explore Web3 Labs Email Web3 Labs
