Still need to use a 3rd party as a middleman. Not exactly what we were hoping. But better than nothing, 25,000 is a lot for a single country, even if it will be about small and very small merchants since I doubt a big one is going to use a 3rd party
And UTrust willl be the third party. So I thought the article was all about bitcoin that will be widely use in Germany, but I was wrong. So this is actually a good news for utrust holders since the team is continually spreading and innovating the platform.
Having a P2P payment will eat a lot of time especially when the blockchain has a heavy traffic and with it having a third party will be more easier unless merchants have a local wallet that can make zero fees and can transfer in a matter of seconds.
this article is mostly advertising that "company" there may not even be 25000 online stores to accept anything in first place either since the source website is not a known one and specially since OP is just advertising his own website to generate traffic i wouldn't take this type of news seriously.
news sites like this have a track record of "creating news".
