SegWit Implementation advantages : decreased transaction fees and improved speed

Using SegWit will allow more transactions to be included within a block and will minimize fees for anyone who chooses to take advantage of this feature.

LN is a decentralized network of payment channels which permit users to make micropayments between two parties without the need to broadcast directly to the blockchain. As a result, transaction fees are decreased and the speed of the whole payment process is too.

Cryptocurrency idealists have envisioned Bitcoin becoming a sort of “free banking” system from the start. Consider LN in that context: Just like people don’t have to carry around weights of gold to engage in commerce, Bitcoin users need not clear all transactions “on-chain” to enjoy the benefits of the digital currency. With LN, they can transact using the network and clear their balances on the underlying blockchain — just like how people exchange gold-backed notes with banks. The most exciting part, in this example, is that rather than needing to rely on an intermediary bank, LN permits people to act on their own
