From Twitter founder Jack Dorsey to crypto billionaires, the Lightning Network torch is still a thing on social media. It most recently found its way into the hands of Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Zhao, like many in the Bitcoin community, would like to see Tesla CEO Elon Musk grab the torch next. Twitter Wants Elon Musk to Join Bitcoin’s Lightning Experiment I am sure you will get it soon enough, let me harass brother @elonmusk a bit more.

Litecoin creator Charlie Lee wanted it for himself, at the suggestion of Lightning Labs co-founder Elizabeth Stark. Charlie hasn’t had it yet! @SatoshiLite 🔥⚡️

He took the opportunity to point out that many people don’t seem to “want” the torch. I will take it off your hands since no one wants it. 😂

TakeTheTorch.online is progressively developing as a website and potentially a movement. Every time we visit it, the appearance has changed, and the list of people who’ve received the torch has grown longer. It now sports a meme gallery.

The recent Bitcoin price increase moved the value of the torch (3.21 million satoshis) to about $116. Will This Bitcoin Torch Be ‘Stolen’ More Often As It Grows in Value?
Binance’s Zhao obviously sees the value of the Twitter game. Demonstrating the microtransactional possibilities of Lightning Network, the scaling solution for Bitcoin has a lot to prove after two forks of Bitcoin have viably created systems where the value of a transaction is much lower.

New study shows that Bitcoin Cash “outperforms everyone else in Reddit enthusiasm during a bear market, with a community that’s clearly passionate and devoted to global adoption.”
