This is an opportunity for btc developers to figure out a way for people to send small amounts of btc without high fees ,if they can't do it what's the point of Bitcoin ?
Problems with bitcoin :
1. You can't mine it with personal pc
2. You can't send small amounts of btc do to high fees
3. You can't do smart contracts using btc
4. Blockchain increases in size over time and costs more energy to run a node or to mine it and so on ...
If someone would pay me to research solutions ,i would gladly do it , free work i don't do as i got to eat ,pay utilities etc.
1. You can't print money with your home printer. Same thing. No big problem
2. You
can send small amounts. More about lightning network here:

3. BTC smart contract: time lock, multisig ... if you don't believe me watch for yourself:

Consider those links as a vouch copy
Tho might need a little more that 5 seconds to read them and hopefully understand something
If a crypto or a token can't be used by a kid or a grandma with a cellphone to buy basic stuff ,that crypto/token is doomed . (low liquidity)
The whole crypto space needs to be secure and UI/UX is slightly more complicated. Wallets and systems are getting more basic and user friendly but it's not for everyone. Many still struggle to make a Revolut transfer, pay with sms etc. Grandma might need to stick to what she knows (there are exceptions tho)
Anyway... good luck with your business ! Click on the links if you want to learn. If you only want $0.04 just ignore !
1.So what you are saying let's waste global energy and put more CO2 in the atmosphere to mine cryptos ...
2.Lighting network it's not direct on bitcoin ,it's a second layer ,means the transactions are not on the bitcoin blockchain it self.
3.Bitcoin will die before they do it we tried to do it when i worked as lead developer for stib,co but we did not have enough time and budget to complete research. We even tried atomic swaps we failed do to fact eth and btc different ...sure there is wbtc but not a real atomic swap.Most people just cheat when they say they do atomic swaps,smart contracts on btc ,bitcoin was never designed for this.
4.Minimum Requirements : 200 gigabytes of free disk space, accessible at a minimum read/write speed of 100 MB/s. (today 200gb ,tomorrow 1 petabyte)
Have you ever asked your self what will happen when there is no more bitcoins to be mined ? If no one to mine how will verify transactions ?
It's just not designed right for real life use.
This is not my business ,i am a web developer ,i skipped 2 jobs interviews in another city do to fact we are stuck (coronavirus) ,now i wait for pandemic to pass and i look for freelancer work to pass time and make some money.
