 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">David Marcus began his interview by highlighting a fundamental challenge in the digital era, which is the absence of a universal protocol for online money transfers. Unlike the traditional financial system, which relies on established protocols for currency exchange and international payments, the Internet lacks a standardized method for transferring money across borders.</span></p>  
 <div class="quads-location quads-ad90952 " id="quads-ad90952" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;">

 </div> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Marcus asserted that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a>, with its decentralized nature and growing global acceptance, holds the potential to fill this void and become the universal protocol for online money. He believes that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a>’s unique properties, including its security and ability to function outside the control of any central authority, make it an ideal candidate for this role.</span></p> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When asked whether the price of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> would rise if it became a widely used currency, Marcus offered a different perspective, stating that “<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Bitcoin" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a> is not the currency people will use to buy things.”&nbsp;</span></p> 
 <h2 id="strong-bitcoin-and-the-lightning-network-strong"><strong>Bitcoin and the Lightning Network</strong></h2>

 </div> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400">However, he highlighted that a fragment of BTC on top of Lightning is like a small packet of data on the internet only for a value that can be exchanged on the network for cross-border transfer payments at a very low cost.</span></p>
