4.1 Million US Merchants Now Accept Bitcoin via Lightning Network

Over 4.1 million US merchants have started using Bitcoin's Lightning Network for transactions this year, thanks to initiatives by Jack Dorsey. In Africa, 70% of all Bitcoin transactions under $1,000 either start or end on the continent, highlighting its role as a medium of exchange. Bitcoin's use in regions with high inflation and autocracy, like Nigeria, is surging due to improved education and understanding of its decentralized nature.
