summary
Argues Bitcoin scales via a layered approach and shows working tech: Lightning Labs ships a multi-asset Lightning protocol that already bridges stablecoins (including tether bridged on Lightning), claiming early stable‑coin volume on Lightning and native issuance next. Cites 2023 stablecoin volume ~$1T and that 4% of Turkey’s GDP sits in stablecoins as demand drivers. Presents a new L402 payment standard for machine-to-machine payments so bots and AI agents can hold and pay bitcoin over Lightning.
