Transactions, lightning fast with almost zero fees. Welcome to the Future of Bitcoin! At least that´s what we are all expecting to happen as soon as the Bitcoin Lightning network will be widely implemented into the major services as well as being used by numerous companies to receive payments.
While we are stuck with a filled up mempool these days as well as costly transactions, which sometimes take days to be processed we´ll be able to use Bitcoin in a whole different way after lightning reaches the masses. Bitcoin might finally become more practical.
Anyways, right now we are still far away from that happening but the first steps are taken. The Lightning network is up and running with less than $10.000 USD on the Bitcoin mainnet already and can actually be tried by anyone who´s curious about the way it works via the Blockstream project described below.

Blockstream Launches "Lightning Online Store"
(Source -Bitcoinmagazine.com)Right from the beginning Blockstream seems to become an important player regarding the future of the Bitcoin Lightning network. They´ve already setup a small online store to showcase the capabilities and possibilities of Bitcoin as a real currency through the power of lightning.
In case you want to visit the store and try it out your own to see where the future will lead us, then click in on https://store.blockstream.com/
Just remember to leave them some feedback after you´ve checked it out. The developers are really eager to hear your opinions as one can see at the words from Blockstream Developer Christian Decker on the mentioned project:
"The desired effect of the Lightning Charge launch was to reach a wider audience, get early feedback from future users and to showcase what will be possible in a not-so-distant future, and I think we have achieved that goal."
