This makes it possible to send and receive payments anywhere in the world without the need for traditional banking services.<\/p><p>While cryptocurrency has the potential to revolutionize payments and offer new opportunities for people and businesses, it is still a new and rapidly evolving technology.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb1654a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb1654a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advantages of cryptocurrency in payments<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81aea6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"81aea6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1rem;\">One of the main advantages of cryptocurrency as a form of payment is that it is faster, cheaper, and more secure compared to traditional payment methods.

While some merchants have started accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment, it is still not as widely accepted as traditional forms of payment such as credit cards and cash. <strong>To put that into numbers, Visa is accepted at around 50,000,000 merchants across the globe, while Bitcoin is accepted at around 20,000 merchants globally.<\/strong> Cryptocurrency has not yet\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Crossing_the_Chasm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crossed the chasm<\/a> in user adoption.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1rem;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nicolelapin\/2021\/12\/23\/explaining-cryptos-volatility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volatility of the value<\/a> of many cryptocurrencies makes it difficult for merchants to price their goods and services. This is likely one of the largest obstacles that cryptocurrency has for payments. There can be large swings in the value of a cryptocurrency in a matter of hours. This brings uncertainty and risk to merchants.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1rem;\">Cryptocurrency is also relatively complex. The tools, platforms, wallets, and systems have not been standardized therefore there is a steep learning curve in adopting cryptocurrency. The user experience of cryptocurrency needs to be simplified before there is widespread adoption.<\/span><\/p><p>Another challenge is the lack of regulation and oversight of the cryptocurrency market. Governments and financial institutions are still trying to understand how best to regulate and supervise the use of cryptocurrency. Until these issues are resolved, it may be difficult for cryptocurrency to gain mass adoption as a form of payment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccd6f32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ccd6f32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cryptocurrencies that could influence payments<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21e6770 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"21e6770\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Each cryptocurrency tends to have some vision of their utility.
