The much anticipated lightning network is the first major scaling solution that will scale bitcoin for mass adoption, and its already here! being tested right now as you read this. The lightning network will allow for almost instantaneous transactions with almost no transaction fee. It runs as an off chain network off bitcoins blockchain. This has always been the major concern holding institutions back from investing in bitcoin but once lightning is successfully implemented, we are likely going to witness one of bitcoins biggest ever price increases!

Solutions to scaling will continue to develop just like any other technology, it just takes time, especially withrevolutionary tech that will change the world forever.
