🗓️The Lightning Torch: A Moment That Lit Up Bitcoin History 🔥
Yesterday, January 19 2019, marked the anniversary of the #LightningTorch, an epic experiment in global collaboration. Born to showcase the speed and efficiency of the Lightning Network, this digital “torch” passed between 282 individuals across 54 countries, growing by 10,000 sats with every handoff.
But it wasn’t just a payment—it was proof of Bitcoin’s borderless power. The final torchbearers donated the funds to a non-profit in Venezuela, bringing hope through #Bitcoin in one of the most challenging economic environments on earth.

⚡ A testament to freedom.
🌍 A global spark.
