This platform opens up an innovative solution for crypto micropayments and e-commerce

Image
This online shop highlights the advantages of crypto payments and may trigger a revolution in e-commerce. The Bitcoin (BTC) white paper published over a decade ago described a decentralized, peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic cash system, suggesting that the cryptocurrency was designed as a means of exchange. However, it has gradually deviated from that status due to its high volatility, scalability issues and transaction fees that made micropayments unfeasible.
