The Bitcoin Lightning Network is The Most Efficient Payment System In The World!

INTJ Billing Bitcoin Lightning Network

Bitcoin Lightning Network benefits:

YOU are your own bank and YOUR OWN merchant provider.
Instant, real-time payment and settlement. No delay whatsoever in getting paid.
Miniscule fees in comparison to Visa, Mastercard and the banks.
No need for you to pay any merchant processing fees.
Capable of over 40 million transactions per second across the network which blows away Visa, Mastercard and the banks.
You get to secure your funds independently and you’re the underwriter for all of your transactions.
Settle fiat transactions in real-time which means instant liquidity. You can convert the bitcoin received back to fiat / AUD currency at any hour of the day on a fully functional cross-border platform. This functionality has never existed before in human history.
Funds are fungible (individual units known as ‘satoshis’ are interchangeable and each part is indistinguishable from another part), and the movement is logged on the ledger, so there is proof the money has been sent. No follow ups, no delays, no bank holidays.
Micropayment friendly. Perfect for small and micro value transactions. Lightning can send payments as low as 0.00000001 Bitcoin (0.00060 cents) as at 17th Jan 2022 without custodial risk.
Incredible benefits for small businesses.
Fast, off chain transactions.
Real time settlement.
All the accounting happens automatically with a detailed electronic record of all transactions. Financial freedom, financial self-sovereignty, huge cost savings especially for small businesses. Sometimes, 2-3% of small businesses’ gross revenue is lost to credit card fees due to vendor, supplier, and utility payments. If you begin using the Lightning Network, you will dramatically reduce the costs of these transactions.
Much less energy usage. Lightning scales non-proportionally to energy usage and is designed to work on a peer-to-peer network leveraging other people’s existing connections.
Does not use the computational power necessary to confirm blocks on chain.
In 2021, Galaxy digital estimated the total annual energy consumption of the existing banking system to be 263.72 TWh usage. Bitcoin’s energy usage may seem large at face value, even on a purely transactional level, but the carbon emissions are even lower than some everyday activities that few describe as excessive energy use – and The Lightning Network is behind this.
First mover advantage over your competition in implementing the most efficient payment system in the world!
