Për të testuar Rrjetin Lightning, CNBC i dërgoi BTC një ukrainasi në Poloni. Rezultati?
Mediat kryesore, për të qenë të saktë CNBC, përjetuan fuqinë e Lightning. Titulli tërheqës i artikullit i thotë të gjitha, "We sent bitcoin from Miami to a Ukrainian in Poland who withdrew it as cash, all in less than three minutes.” The recipient was Alena Vorobiova and her face at the end of the video also says it all. Bitcoin developer Gleb Naumenko assisted in the operation, and MacKenzie Sigalos represented CNBC. She hosted njëri prej Bitcoin 2022’s most interesting panels dhe ishte ende në Miami kur u zhvillua eksperimenti.
Spoiler Alert, ky ishte rezultati:
“The bottom line? It really does work as well as bitcoin boosters say it does.
The process of downloading a crypto wallet onto Vorobiova’s phone, transferring bitcoin over the Lightning Network from the U.S. to Poland, and withdrawing the equivalent in Polish currency from a bitcoin ATM from the southwest city of Wrocław took less than three minutes.”
Kjo është fuqia e Rrjetit Lightning për ju. Le të shqyrtojmë se si erdhi e gjithë situata dhe pse është e rëndësishme për refugjatët kudo. Dhe për të gjithë, me të vërtetë.
Sa para dërgoi CNBC?
According to CNBC, “money providers often charge transfer fees of 10% or more when you send $100 from the U.S. to Ukraine.” However, as you might’ve heard, the current situation in her country is a little complicated. She’s in Poland now, in the city of Wrocław to be exact. There are fifteen bitcoin ATMs there. Luckily, at least one of them supported Lightning transactions, and:
“Ajo përfundoi me 170 zloty, monedhën polake, me vlerë rreth 100,000 sats ose 40 dollarë. Kompania ATM mori një tarifë prej 10 zloty, ose rreth 5.5% të transaksionit total.”
Needless to say, that’s the ATM’s cut. This might be the easiest, but, it’s not the optimal way to transform BTC into fiat currency. The Lightning Network fees “amounted to fractions of a penny,” and you’d better remember that. It’s also worth noting that, “In Poland, for example, there are more than 175 bitcoin ATMs, allowing refugees who fled with bitcoin to cash it back out for fiat currency.”
An advanced tip, though, is that you don’t need a bitcoin ATM taking a 5% cut to transform BTC into fiat currency. The network is liquid everywhere in the world because BTC is valuable and sought-after everywhere in the world. People that understand it and have fiat currency want to exchange their bills for BTC. In any case, “the process illustrates how refugees with no cash and no way of accessing their belongings can use crypto wallets for banking.”

As it turns out, the BTC that CNBC sent to Poland was originally from What Bitcoin Did’s Peter McCormack. Last August, he “taught CNBC how to use the Lightning Network to make instant payments to anyone in the world” by sending them “100,000 satoshis, or sats (the smallest denomination of bitcoin, about 0.00000001 BTC) from his account to ours. The total transfer was equivalent to about $50.”
To close off the article, CNBC quotes a frequent Bitcoinist’s guest. The Human Rights Foundation’s Alex Gladstein tells mainstream media what we all know:
“Unë jam ulur në Kaliforni, prapë mund t'ju dërgoj çdo shumë parash menjëherë në telefonin tuaj në çdo kohë. Nuk duhet të shqetësohemi për faktin se ju jeni refugjat. Nuk ka rëndësi që ju nuk keni një pasaportë polake ose një llogari bankare. Asnjë nga këto gjëra nuk ka rëndësi.”
Such is the power of the bitcoin network. And if you use Lightning, all of that can happen in a matter of seconds with fees that amount “to fractions of a penny.”
