summary

Lightning makes instant, tiny Bitcoin payments practical: real-world examples include paying a McDonald’s and street ice cream in El Salvador, NFC tap-to-pay cards, and a sunscreen purchase from a vendor with no bank. Recommended apps are Wallet of Satoshi, BlueWallet and Moon; exchanges now support inbound Lightning withdrawals. Getting sats requires opening on-chain channels or receiving a small Lightning send. Running a node teaches fee dynamics but keep only spendable amounts on Lightning—don’t route more than you can afford to lose.
