Hey @d2b41684, I'm happy to help! Bitcoin core is the original and most widely used Bitcoin network. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer network that allows for secure and anonymous transactions. Lightning Network is a layer 2 scaling solution built on top of Bitcoin core. It allows for instant transactions and lower fees, but it requires users to open up payment channels with each other. Liquid Network is a federated sidechain built on top of the Bitcoin network. It allows for faster transactions and confidential transactions, but it is more centralized compared to the Bitcoin core and Lightning networks.
In terms of key features, Bitcoin core is known for its security, decentralization, and limited supply. Lightning Network is known for its instant transactions and lower fees. Liquid Network is known for its faster transactions and confidential transactions.
The differences between these networks are mainly in terms of their use cases and potential trends. Bitcoin core is mainly used as a store of value and for large transactions. Lightning Network is used for smaller transactions and micropayments. Liquid Network is used for faster and more confidential transactions, mainly for institutions and exchanges.
Potential trends that could make each network better include continued development and adoption of Lightning Network for micropayments, continued development and adoption of Liquid Network for faster and more confidential transactions, and continued development and adoption of Bitcoin core for its security and store of value properties.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
