People are losing interest in paying for goods and services with Bitcoin. What's wrong with cryptocurrency?
Source:
In late may, the fee in the Bitcoin network for a few hours below the level of Bitcoin Cash. The downward trend in the cost of remittances to the coin is observed from Jan. Despite this, 2018 may be the most failure-transaction — less traders transfer money in the cryptocurrency. He writes about this .
theWhat can you buy with Bitcoin
The Publication cites companies BitPay, and GoCoin Coinify, which in September last year processed transactions Bitcoin to 411 million dollars. In may of this year the figure dropped to $ 69 million.
Reducing the interest of traders to the coin as a means of payment there are three reasons, says Nicholas weaver from the International computer science Institute. This volatility, high transaction costs and the irreversibility of transactions.
In fact, Bitcoin cannot be used in everyday life — it is extremely inconvenient. Net value of transaction using Bitcoin is much higher than with credit card. In addition, users are afraid to deal with scammers, so I prefer coins with reversible transactions.
Due to the fall in the volume of transactions of the company began to refuse to accept Bitcoins. As an example, the publication cites the payment system Stripe and booking service for tours and airline tickets Expedia. Organizations have to pay too much money for the service of such payments, so when the customer interest in this method of payment drops, they prefer to cancel the service.
