Fidelity passed the torch to the Harvard School Blockchain & Crypto Club. The experiment was started by crypto enthusiast Hodlonaut. Bitcoin users have since been playing a running game wherein each participant adds a little Bitcoin to a Lightning Network payment chain, then passes it on to someone on Twitter that they trust.
The aim is to spread awareness of Layer 2 Lightning Network technology, which improves scalability and allows for instantly verifiable Bitcoin payments.
Coin Rivet recently brought you the story of Square and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey participating in the initiative.
