A long-term initiative for Bitcoin adoption
Lilla Essingen is envisioned as a real-world testbed for everyday Bitcoin use — a place where merchants, residents and visitors can experience Lightning payments as part of daily life, close to central Stockholm.
By getting a concentrated cluster of local merchants to start using bitcoin and the Lightning Network, Bitcoin Island aims to show — in practice, not just in theory — how an entire area can use bitcoin as everyday money.
