How does Bitcoin’s volatility affect its adoption as a payment method?
Bitcoin’s price swings make it difficult for businesses to accept as payment. Merchants risk losses if Bitcoin's value drops after a sale. Many use payment processors like BitPay to convert Bitcoin to fiat instantly. While some companies accept Bitcoin, most prefer stablecoins for price stability. The Lightning Network helps by reducing fees and speeding up transactions. Despite volatility, Bitcoin is popular for cross-border payments, especially in unstable economies. Over time, wider adoption and increased liquidity may reduce price fluctuations, making it a more viable payment option.
