Bitcoin lightening network is a technology I will still have to study to understand fully how it works, as I haven't really come to terms with understanding, but going by what I currently understand, what op is saying sure makes sense, if some one should have the supposed 1 bitcoin in his or her wallet, and open a LN which I believe should be connected to the same wallet, the balance from appears as the same, and which ever network the individual decides to spend his or her bitcoin from, the transaction will be recorded on both networks, which will also make both balance reflects accordingly.
The idea of having a transaction on one network like the Lightning network immediately reflect on the Bitcoin mainnet is challenging. This is because it would require a real-time synchronization mechanism between the two, which currently doesn't exist.
LN operates with a different set of rules and processes designed to be lightweight and fast, while the Bitcoin blockchain provides a more robust and secure record of transactions.
This is what I currently understand, but like I said before, I will still need to study this topic to understand better how the lightening network truly functions.
The LN operates quite differently from the main Bitcoin blockchain. It is a
"layer 2" protocol, meaning it sits on top of the Bitcoin blockchain and provides a different way to transact. LN transactions happen off-chain in private channels between parties.
These transactions are not immediately recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain. They are settled later in bulk to reduce transaction fees and congestion.
Understanding how LN channels are opened and closed and how they interact with the main blockchain will give you a clearer picture of how balances and transactions are managed across these two layers.
