Just made my first Lightning Network transaction and it was easier than I could have ever imagined

Whenever I have read about using LN, setting up a node or channel, potentially losing funds, it has always turned me off from the idea. It seems too complicated (for me) and too much of a risk(constant smear from other subs). A few weeks ago I saw a video of a guy using LN to get around and it interested me. Well, today I made my first transaction today using Breez and Fold. It was a simple gift card purchase, but it was easy and very user friendly. On top of that, you get sats back.

Sorry this isn't a post about achieving financial freedom due to BTC, but I used BTC to buy some new jeans, and that's awesome.

Very excited for the future now that I've got a taste of lightning.⚡⚡
