At Lightning Pay, we're dedicated to connecting New Zealand to the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This means providing products for individuals and merchants, and shepherding a better experience with payments throughout the country. But it also means ensuring that we're not only onboarding people to bitcoin, but telling them the bitcoin story from our perspective.

Below is our collection of articles that are not necessarily aimed at teaching our about our products, but focused on bitcoin itself. The how and why of bitcoin, from the perspective of the team at Lightning Pay.
