Bitcoin impracticable payment. What is the solution?

Actually we should not use bitcoin in buying pizza and food items etc. as it has not so much popular now. This will take time to happen. Moreover you can use gift cards for buying presents etc.

You need to be very patient, all these practicality as a payment method, cheaper transfer and ease of sending Bitcoin will come with time. It is still in the developmental stage and slowly getting matured with time. All we need to do is wait for the right time when such technology will be there for Bitcoin to accept as a payment everywhere around the world.

Bitcoin had a huge transaction cost back in 2017 and early 2018. This has been brought to a minimal amount after numerous development and updates. It will surely take time to develop new technology but new modes of payments are being introduced. Experts say that investing in bitcoin now is like investing in google and apple back in 2005. So have patience.

Right now if you want to buy a pizza with Bitcoin, you will have some problems, the delay it will take and the fees will make it impossible.

This seems to be a solution. What is your though about this? Is this going to be as secured and anonymous? Where are the source of this technology?

Lightning network is a solution but how secure is it? To general people it might seem like a normal integration with blockchain, but do keep in mind that the transaction takes place off the blockchain! The lightning network does not have the same trust guarantee like the main bitcoin blockchain. And do keep in mind that the lightning network do need somewhat of central authority to work.

I cannot completely agree with you here as Bitcoin still has a cheaper transaction cost but yes, you need to purchase products or services in bulk for that. Small transactions might prove to be costly. But, hopefully, with time, all the features of Bitcoin will come to a favorable state for everyone to accept it as a ideal payment method.

Well, if the SEC regulation continues or there will be another set of regulations of bitcoin, then that will solve your issue . What I meant from solve is that, they will create way for the tx will be faster.

If bitcoin developer cannot reduce the blocktime and fees, then the solution is simple. Just use another coins with a fast speed and cheap fee.
Litecoin is one of them. With a same algorithm to mine, it is the Lite version of bitcoin.

you're right, lightning network helps bitcoin transactions, becomes faster and fees become low.

You must understand that lightning has a basic element component, that is LND and BTCD.

I talked a little about lightning network daemons or LND. and LND functions as the main software that drives lightning network, and this is a basic component source.

LND functions to control data, create connections for each node, make and close transactions, and many other functions. and then the LND will need BTCD.

Bitcoin isn’t usable in every field till now. If you want to buy a pizza by bitcoin then it will create a problem because pizza companies don’t allow bitcoin as payment. For the regular purchase, you have to depend on the traditional payment system at least for now.

[bitcoinhero777]

You should not buy a pizza by using bitcoin as payment method. It is not acceptable by many companies. You can use bitcoin where other party will take it without any hesitation and there would be no problem. Many businesses find it risky to accept bitcoin as payment.

[Demonster]

If you find it problematic to pay for a pizza by bitcoin then you should not use it. Bitcoin hasn’t placed that position that a pizza maker will receive payment as bitcoin. You should look for the things that is directly associated with bitcoin.

[Lionheart001]

It's not advisable using Bitcoin to make small payments. It's possible, but it is costly and slower. There has to be a way out though. I have not read much about lighting network. But is it ever going to be implemented? Only time will tell

[Zulema3382]

Bitcoin is safer and more potential. If they do not accept Bitcoin payments, then use it somewhere else. Everyone has a lot of good ideas about this. Buying Bitcoin will give you something profitable.

The difference, of course, is that Bitcoin used to have low fees. It has regressed - gotten worse with time - whereas internet bandwidth didn’t.

The difference is that bitcoin was a lot cheaper back then, so obviously the fees would be significantly cheaper back then; and the fees aren't even that bad at the moment. The fees are low enough for online purchases, just not low enough for micro transactions. Maybe actually try transacting using bitcoin?

This is exactly why the Lightning Network was introduced. The idea is for people to use the Lightning Network for all the applications that are linked to micro transactions and the Blockchain for the rest. You can still make your normal tx's on the Blockchain, but it will be a bit more expensive than tx's that are done on the Lightning Network.

The SegWit tx's are currently very cheap, so the settlement of the balances on the Lighting Network channels will also be very cheap.
