Lightning Fast or Dollar Stable: Which Crypto Would You Pay With?

Turns out you can pay with Bitcoin in 31,000 locations across South Africa - and not just with Bitcoin, but with Lightning Network Bitcoin:

• No waiting for your transaction to hit the blockchain.
• In fact, no blockchain entry at all.
• Lightning payments are invisible and feel just like using cash.

Very few cryptocurrencies can offer that. Looking at the list, you’ll find:

• hotels,
• cafés and restaurants,
• retail chains,
• parking and gas stations,
• sports and fitness,
• education,
• healthcare,
• gambling,
• and much more.

In other words, you really could live on Bitcoin in South Africa.

Could - but does anyone actually do it? I doubt it. Personally, I’d hate to give up my BTC for a cup of coffee.

Meanwhile, Tether is moving closer to launching its own Plasma blockchain, and with the partnerships it’s striking, soon even more merchants will be accepting USDT.

So here’s the real question:
👉 For everyday spending, would you rather use BTC or USDT?

On rabbit.io, you can swap any crypto into either - no registration, best rates.
