How Retail Rails Are Powering 2M Bitcoin Payments
Remember a time when using Bitcoin to pay for, well, anything felt like pie in the sky futurism that never quite worked? The demos went great, but the checkout lines uncomfortable pauses, puzzled expressions, perhaps a crash or two were another matter.
That’s finally changing. The rails are solid now. Wallets feel normal. Retailers are no longer treating Bitcoin as an experiment they’re simply running it. It’s going from a tech headline to a real world habit. Keep that momentum up and we could get millions of Bitcoin payments brushing the network each day, with many more slipping quietly through the sidechains along Lightning and other channels. The funny thing? That’s not even going to feel big. It’ll just feel, expected.
So yes, this is where we go deep: what’s under the hood, what’s behind all that phenomenal growth and above all what slows things down and why “two million a day” might soon seem remarkably bland in the best way possible.
