I don't understand , I live in india and here we can use UPI like google pay and phonepay to easily pay money within seconds and a touch and no extra cost or transaction fees is taken . But when i try to ay with bitcoin like 1000 ruppes i have to pay around 120 ruppes in fees to get the transaction done in 10minutes . So for a order of 1000 i have to pay 1120 ruppes and also wait for 10minutes for the transaction to be done .
So why is bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency more reliable or disruptive if it cant even help me in paying a simple small amount . Can somebody lease elaborate what i am missing here . Thanks in advance
Your point is very much valid, and this is one of the reasons why many of the merchants have removed Bitcoin as a payment method. Under current circumstances, it doesn't make any economic sense to use Bitcoin for medium-sized payments. I would rather treat it as an investment asset, rather than as a currency. You can use it for payments, in special circumstances (such as making cross-border transactions, or to make anonymous payments).
