That was an old post of mine. Sorry this response took so long. The Lightning network has already been implemented on the bitcoin network but many users don't know it...

From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Network

From April 2018 to August 2018, the Bitcoin Lightning Network had a monthly growth rate of about 15%. The number of nodes increased from 1,500 to 3,000, and the number of channels increased from 4,000 to 11,000.[5]
