Very sorry. But in my country they don’t really want to develop cryptocurrency. And even more to implement it for use. Therefore, there is an opportunity only to develop it here.

That's because online payment that provided by banks and other company are charges too high fee. If we compare it with cash then cash is better because there is no fee on it except taxation. And other bad things is there are many germs on cash money so it's not really good for our health. But if we use bitcoin then we only need to pay small fee and we can send the money anywhere in this world. So bitcoin is very appropriate for this century.Cash dont have fees i agree with that but what about tax ? When we buy stuffs offline all of those things have a tax included , the bigger item you buy thr bigger tax youl incur and i think that tax is more costy than fees if we all sum it up . other one is the germs and other bacteria's that we can get on using physical currency . this is bad and this is the start of causing health problems . cryptocurrency is a kind of virtual/digital money that can overall solve this issues that we are facing right now .
Yes but the growth is gradual, in my country, we just recently adopted to digital payments.
It will take while for cryptos to go mainstrean as well, just progress should never be stopped otherwise it's dead.
Nice to hear that your country is very open to cryptocurrencies unlike the other ones that expressed on how they dislike crypto's and everything related to it.It will take while for cryptos to go mainstrean as well, just progress should never be stopped otherwise it's dead.
The progress for crypto is very encouraging to see that more and more companies and merchants sees the future behind it. While some gov't understands that it shouldn't be ignored.

Bitcoin is truly a groundbreaking invention of decentralized trading, but it is too new, too much to do to become a payment tool for businesses and individuals. Bitcoin is currently only considered a speculative tool, a method of storing assets instead of payment tool. But I hope that future bitcoin will become a popular payment tool worldwide.

The way btc rises and falls shows that it's not everybody that can risk having it soley for payments. For the tycons, physical cash in the bank is more reliable because its variation with time is within a bearable control. Stability in the crypto market will be like a chemoattractant to tycoons although that seems nearly impossible. Meanwhile amidst this volatility challenge, I think 10% is fare enough if actually the estimation is correct
We can't blame them if they don't want to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. We all know how volatile it is and it will be hard for them to keep up with the changing price of it, there are also transaction fees and the transaction time that might take their services down. There are some though that don't really care about volatility and I salute those.

If we count the world population we have in crypts only 0.34% of people using it. So it is a very irisorio value and shows the great potential of use and new adepts.

No it is not. First of all 10% looks like a wrong number but even if it is true then it doesn't tell us that people perform only 10% of trandsctions online because os lack of payment methods. Bringing to the market a new payment system like LN you are competing only with those systems that people use only for these 10% of transactions and not the other 90%Well, bitcoin has to improve, it cannot be efficient without the LN and let's see how the merchants will integrate in their system and how online users will adopt it.
What is the point if merchants don't adopt and provide crypto as a payment solution? Currently, very few merchants actually provide BTC as a mode of payment which needs to be increased with time by raising adoption of BTC in any legit way possible.
Aside from the lack of scalability, merchants would be all-over Bitcoin if people actually spent their coins for once, but they don't.
During bull runs people aren't going to get rid of their coins because they strongly believe that they will be worth more next week or month, and during a bear market people are too upset about the loss in value to consider spending them. The current market is not a good environment for Bitcoin or pretty much any other crypto coin to function as proper payment solution for day to day items.

Where did you get this 10%? Is there any sources about this percentage?
Anyway I believe it is still need long time for e-commerce to accept crypto payment method.
Did you get that 10% information from a reliable source?
Bitcoin has a lot of improvement and is being adopted online
day by day. A lot of business opportunities are open for online transactions. I think it isn't 100% but 10% is too low since bitcoin is one of the most chosen online mode of payment.
It is true you could use our country the Philippines for example , We already have a local wallet called coins.ph and on that wallet we could easily convert our crypto into our local currency then use it on the wallet to pay Bills and other stuff we could also use it to pay for tax so I think it isn't just 10%.

Even the 10% is still base on the speculation because bitcoin have not gain such adoption that will amount to that 10% transaction being carried out using the online method. The world is gradually adopting bitcoin as a secondary currency and at that we need time before full implementation of that.

I'm really curious to see how those statistics were gathered and what that really means. If you're taking into account maybe India and China and other rural populations where they couldn't anyway pay online and shop at physical stores, then of course I guess that 10% makes sense. And if so, then lightning actually doesn't help anything. I mean come on, if people aren't even going digital, much less Bitcoin, why lightning?

This clearly needs citation. 10% according to who?
LN can help transactions from trusted recurring customers, but the most important obstacle is the shop itself accepting Bitcoin in the first place.

Is not only a massive opportunity, is the future of online payments because lightning represents the fast and cheap payment at the same time, but banks also are in troubles now and they know it, they will end using this technology for their transactions in the future.

Because retail transaction is not really worth to do online. They still have to send the physique items in a big quantity.
But maybe in could be possible in years

There certainly is a lot of room for improvement. I believe its due to the products and solutions currently on offer to merchants. With time I believe entrepreneurs will provide more payment gateway solutions and in return increase the number of sales made through Cryptocurrency.
