At Lyzi, we are developing crypto payments. Cryptocurrency is growing in popularity among merchants and customers, but what are the benefits of using a payment method like Bitcoin? What are Bitcoin and cryptocurrency?
Bitcoin is considered to be the very first cryptocurrency and the “mother” of blockchain technology. The blockchain is built on Web3, a decentralized and secure Internet network that aims to be transparent with its participants. Cryptocurrency operates on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis and is generally purchased on platforms such as Binance or Kraken. Most people also create a virtual wallet like eToro. Enthusiasts of various cryptocurrencies appreciate practices such as “mining” to acquire, sell, or exchange the digital currency of their choice with other enthusiasts.
When you read and listen to different stories from cryptocurrency users, it's natural to wonder about the legitimacy of bitcoin payments and virtual currency as a form of payment in general. After all, why replace our traditional debit or credit cards? In the age of the Internet, virtual currencies are gradually becoming part of our daily lives. Almost all of us use a bank account in one form or another: PayPal, Lydia, a Maestro account, BNP, Mastercard or even a tobacconist account like Nickel. Payment systems are numerous in France.
Imagine this scenario: for a variety of reasons, you can't open an account with any bank. Among other things, bitcoin payments allow you to temporarily get around this problem with minimal transaction fees.
Indeed, one of the main concerns on the Internet is the theft of banking information, and rightly so. Thousands of accounts are blocked by hackers who manage to bypass security systems. The advantage of Web3 and the Bitcoin blockchain lies in the dedication of its users and the collaborative efforts that contribute to creating a strong sense of security. Many crypto and computer enthusiasts share their knowledge selflessly, always ready to help those who need it. Additionally, physical withdrawal is impossible if your Bitcoin is stolen.
Trials took place in the 1990s, but most ended in varying degrees of failure. The most successful and well-known ones inspired Satoshi Nakamoto to create the token that gave birth to all the others. Ethereum, the second pillar of the project led by Vitalik Buterin, is a remarkable example. Every day, thousands of Bitcoin payments and transactions are executed, as this cryptocurrency proves to be the most stable in terms of value and price. It has created and maintains the entire reputation of blockchain and that is the reason why hundreds of people enter the market every day to acquire it.
Just like cryptocurrency, e-commerce became a part of our lives in the late 1990s. Today, Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, and others are well-known e-commerce platforms. The main advantage of online shopping, beyond the variety of products, is the acceptance of multiple currencies and existing debit/credit cards, including Bitcoin.
E-retailers understand the importance of cryptocurrencies and many now accept crypto payments. For customers, there is no need to provide a card number; a link to the Bitcoin wallet is sufficient. No need for a merchant account or additional discussion: your cryptocurrency wallet becomes your payment terminal. Simple and effective
The expression “things were better in the past” is often repeated, but living in the past brings nothing. Cryptocurrency is gradually replacing traditional debit and credit cards, as seen in countries like Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, which have allowed secure transactions on their own wallets.
Today, everything happens online: opening a bank account, invoicing, quoting, obtaining the IBAN through PDF files, etc. One procedure among many others, but which must be secure, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced work into our personal devices.
Inside the Lyzi mobile application is your wallet containing several cryptocurrencies to buy, exchange, and sell: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, and Dash, among others. For businesses, the advantage lies in simplicity: implement different secure payment methods and create a climate of trust between you and your customers. Beyond simply activating bitcoin payments, we also offer a unique option: creating your own token for your brand.
The creation of your electronic money will bring a unique touch to your business and will project a modern and innovative image. After all, what attracts us the most on the Internet is the image. Our eyes catch anything that might pique our curiosity.
In addition, Lyzi offers mobile payments, whether by credit card, Bitcoin, another cryptocurrency or even by loyalty points. Yes, we also focus on acquiring redeemable loyalty points that can be given to loved ones. Our customer service team is committed to staying in close contact with you and your business in order to help you with your journey.
