Micropayments and the Lightning Network
"Before the World Wide Web, the internet, or even the personal computer revolution, the concept of making tiny payments in exchange for digital content had already been conceptualized. The term “micropayment” can be traced back to Ted Nelson as early as 1960, when he began brainstorming his ideas for what a globally accessible, computer-based repository of human knowledge could look like, and coined many other terms and ideas that are used on the web today, like “hypertext” and “hypermedia”. While often failing to implement his own vision for the web (and being vocally regretful of how the web took shape), others took many of his ideas and built them into what we know it as today."
