In addition to RMB, many friends have used US dollars, British pounds, gold coins in games, penguin Q coins, etc., as payment media...
But have you ever paid with Bitcoin?
Today is the pizza festival in the currency circle. On May 18, 2010, an old man named Laszlo Hanyecz posted in the BitTalk forum, saying that he would buy two Papa John’s pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins.
Everyone thought he was talking nonsense, because according to the price at the time, 10,000 bitcoins could sell for $41, and two pizzas didn’t cost that much. Is this person being taken advantage of? In the end, the transaction was completed on May 22 of that year, and the guy who bought Bitcoin was called Jercos. But Jercos also failed to insist on HODL, and then used the price of 400 US dollars to sell this
10,000 bitcoins were sold.
When people hear this story, they think,
Why not give it to me!
Although everyone will think that this "high consumption" is a pity, but Laszlo Hanyecz himself does not think so. As a pioneer of Bitcoin, he believes that payment is the original vision of Bitcoin,
And this transaction has also become the first bitcoin transaction in history, which is the first step of bitcoin as a payment system.
different payment methods
Since ancient times, people's payment methods have been changing. At first, it was barter, and then slowly evolved into gold, silver and copper, and then paper money. People have given meaning to these things, and everyone thinks or is stipulated that they should be used as a medium to pay, so it constitutes the original payment system.
For us, the existence of banknotes is a matter of course; but people born in the 10s and 20s of this century will think that Alipay and WeChat are a necessity; one day in the future, Bitcoin payment may also become a new human. Transaction benchmark.
Bitcoin payments now
Because Bitcoin fluctuates too much now, everyone will be reluctant to use the coins in their hands to buy goods, worrying that if they are not careful, they will become the next Laszio-not only will others think you are losing money, but you will secretly grit your teeth.
But Bitcoin payment has always been one of our visions. At this time, we need a relatively more stable currency that is comparable to Bitcoin to realize the payment dream of Bitcoin.
Stablecoins are your best bet. Take USDS as an example. USDS is a currency-based stablecoin against Bitcoin. It retains the liquidity of Bitcoin and is an accessory attached to Bitcoin. At the same time, its value is against the U.S. dollar, 1 USDS=1 USD, which makes it very stable compared to Bitcoin. For more introduction about USDS, please see here:USDS
Use such a stable currency to buy goods for transactions, so you don’t have to worry about the price of a toilet in a villa to buy a pack of potato chips when Bitcoin soars to one coin and one villa in the future.
In addition to the stable currency as a payment tool, we also need a platform for transactions. The function is similar to that of a certain treasure, but this platform supports the electronic payment system of bitcoin or stable currency. Some friends may have heard of Bixin’s coin store before, and now we have upgraded to a YBay mall, anyone can apply to become a certified merchant and open their own YBay store.
Don't get me wrong, we don't want to be a certain treasure in the currency circle, we just want to be a good Bixin in the currency circle, and let others work hard to be the Bixin in other circles in the future.
Try the Bitcoin electronic payment system
Have you ever paid with Bitcoin or other stablecoins?
If your first reaction is no, let me remind you that the handling fees you pay on major platforms can also be called payments, but what you buy is services, and even the on-chain handling fees you pay when transferring money can be Called payment for services.
But if you have been using Bixin’s instant currency issuance, the platform itself does not have any handling fees, and the first three transactions per day are free of all on-chain service fees, hey, I am sorry that you have never tried Bitcoin. / Stablecoin payment.
It doesn't matter, it's too late to try today.
