Integrating Cryptocurrency Into The Modern Economy

Introduction

Imagine a world where cryptocurrencies are accepted as means of payment for goods and services.
Imagine a world where you could be in the convenience of your home, order for goods and services online and conveniently pay for such goods or services in cryptocurrency with no transaction fees.
Imagine a world where cryptocurrency payment processing is done in real time and as fast as the traditional payment systems.

This is the kind of world that we are all hoping to live in. Where one can easily earn cryptocurrency and can also easily exchange such cryptocurrency for whatever goods or services one needs with no hassle. But this can only be achieved if the cryptocurrency payment processing system is made to be as fast or even faster than the traditional credit and debit cards payment processing systems offered by companies like master card.

There no doubt that crytocurrency is gaining ground on a daily basis and its awareness is spreading drastically. But so many people despite being aware of the crypto trend are not flowing with the crypto trend because it is yet to be fully integrated into the modern economy. How best can a currency be integrated into the modern economy order than for it to be easily accepted as payment for goods and service?

Making cryto to be generally accepted for payment of goods and services will create a general appeal for it and enhance its integintegration into everyday business transactions. Buying and selling is a normal part of every day life and a major part of the global economy. Imagine being able to exchange cryptocurrency for goods and services without having to spend so much time waiting for the transaction to be processed. This will greatly enhance the adoption of crypto by a majority of the general public and it will become a major part of the modern economy.

The Current Crypto Payment System

The current crypto payment system operated by some crypto companies is usually very slow and tajes a lot of time before a transaction can be processed and confirmed. And most customers don't have the patience to wait for such a time wasting payment processing system. This is one of the reasons why most retail merchants are reluctant to include crytocurrencies among their payment options. If a currency has to be integrated into the modern economy, it has to have a large user base, a fast exchange method and easily accessible to anyone that wants to use it.

Cryptocurrency already has some of these qualities. Its major drawback is the lengthy payment processing time and confirmation. If this drawback can be eliminated, crypto will have a general appeal and merchants all over the world will integrate cryptocurrencies into their payment terminals.
