Why Bitcoin is Important
While Bitcoin has been gaining more traction in the media, there is still some confusion as to what makes it such an awesome thing for business owners. The reasons are as follows:
Low transaction fees – the current fee is a flat-rate of around $0.07. When this is compared to the 2.9% (plus flat fees of around $0.30 on top of that), it is clear which one is the winner here
Blazing fast transfers – funds sent through the network are usually seen instantly, and are confirmed within 10 minutes
No chargebacks – there is absolutely no fraud from chargebacks as they are not possible. This means when a payment is received (and confirmed), businesses can rest assured that the money is theirs
International payments – there is no fee for sending international payments. It does not matter where a business or a customer are located; the funds are sent in the same manner and with the same fees regardless. With credit cards, there are usually fees attached to both ends of the deal
All of these things make Bitcoin the perfect choice for any business that deals with money. It is simple to set up, cheap to use and extremely safe. This means more money in the business and less being taken out due to fraud and fees.
Supporting the Bitcoin Economy
Bitnewt helps support the Bitcoin economy by doing something most other businesses simply do not do: holding on to coins instead of selling them. This means that the coins are not just being liquidated as soon as they are obtained, and therefore do not have any negative impact on the economy. As a result, supporting Bitnewt and paying via Bitcoin is a great way to help cut down on the amount of liquidation that is happening with most businesses that take the cryptocurrency.
