Popularity of Bitcoin has been increasing on each passing day. No one knows how it works when Bitcoin emerged in 2010, analysts feel risky in 2014 with popular digital currency, global acceptance of the Bitcoin increased in 2018 but some people still feel risky with Bitcoin and many have believed that it’s too late in accepting the Bitcoin in 2021.
Irrespective to the sector, many companies are embracing Bitcoin as their payment options. Bitcoin's volatility is well publicized and has led many investors, including Warren Buffet, to criticize it and other cryptocurrencies as value less.
There are growing
number of companies across a plethora of industries from big tech to airlines are
allowing customers to use them as an official method of payment for their goods
and services. Biggest tech company Microsoft accepts Bitcoin payments, going
some way to instill a degree of confidence in using cryptos. Starbucks
customers can now use the new Bakkt app to pay for drinks and goods at the
coffee chain with converted Bitcoin. Electric carmaker Tesla became one of the
latest companies in recent weeks to announce it would accept Bitcoin payments
for vehicle purchases in the US.
Why the companies prefer Bitcoin for
small payments?
Businesses that accept payments internationally have few options. Payments are made within minutes. All you need is a cryptocurrency wallet. While many older people are averse to new technologies, especially cryptocurrencies, younger generations are more accepting. Traditional currency loses value over time as more is printed. Bitcoin has a cap of 21 million, which means it has a limited capacity. PayPal users can now buy, sell or hold a select few cryptos, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin.
