Could you elaborate on the Bitcoin Lightning Network and its significance in the cryptocurrency ecosystem? I've heard it's a solution to scalability issues, but I'm curious about how it works and what benefits it brings to Bitcoin users. Specifically, I'd like to understand how it differs from the traditional Bitcoin network, what kind of transactions it enables, and how secure it is. Additionally, I'm wondering if there are any challenges or limitations associated with using the Lightning Network. Thank you for your insight on this topic.
