Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s first and the largest cryptocurrency. Many are attracted to Bitcoin by its independence and pseudo-anonymity. But its convenience of use, speed and costs are not always as attractive as one would like.
The main advantage of using Bitcoin for payment is you do not need a middleman, like a bank, to complete a transaction. In some cases, however, transaction speed and costs are a downside for this currency.
Pros
You can make payments with bitcoins 24/7 all over the world, even where there’s no banking system. International payments with bitcoins can be faster and cheaper than with traditional banking. You can spend bitcoins in the same ways you spend traditional digital money – from a desktop computer, a mobile phone or a debit card. Bitcoin has valuable features for business, too, like multi-signature authorization and accounting transparency. Multi-signature means that several people need to sign off on a payment, which provides more security. And the very nature of a blockchain – where all transactions are public – improves a business’s transparency.Cons
Use of the Bitcoin largely depends on internet availability. While Bitcoin beats traditional banking in international payments, it’s too slow and expensive for retail transactions like buying tea or groceries. The speed can be expected to improve in the future. Not every shop or service provider accepts bitcoins. However, the number is growing.Similar to Notcoin - TapSwap on Solana Airdrops In 2024
