What will be the web moment of bitcoin?

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

I just read an article that makes a comparisson about bitcoin and the internet in it's early stages.

Bitcoin blockchain is the Ethernet, having to broadcast each transaction to all nodes in the network.

The Lightning Network is the IP protocol, where the nodes are in charge of re-routing all the data transfer from one node to another in order to reach to the right TCP/Payment Channel.

The Payment Channels are the TCP protocol, where the data transfer (money transfer) doesn't have to be broadcast to the whole network anymore, just happens in a point to point way.

If this is so, what will be the web moment of bitcoin, will it be streaming money? getting paid at nanoseconds? If so, will people work on traditional jobs?

Here is the link I mentioned:
