From careful observation, it's becoming clear that it may be hard for crypto to go mainstream without the involvement of the payment sector. Whenever we talk about cryptocurrency payment, we quickly want to adopt Bitcoin. I think we are all getting it wrong here considering Bitcoin's high transaction fee and relatively longer confirmation time compared to other crypto stablecoins or other faster crypto assets.
My personal take, however, is that, for crypto to go mainstream and the impact felt, the focus needs to pivot a bit away from Bitcoin. Yes, it is the first crypto, but at its present state, it definitely cannot fit into every area. This is my opinion, if you have something contrary, I will definitely love to hear them.
Transaction fee and confirmation time highly depends on the network traffic so it will be eventually high if more transactions are made at the same time but no one ever said bitcoin is the only crypto suitable for payment, there are lot other cryptos as well so we can choose cryptos depends on the value of transaction but the real thing is people are ready to accept decentralized mode payment system.
