Also, it wasn't expected of me lol. A long time ago I used Bitpay for a Namecheap deposit. Once Namecheap accepts BTCPayseever then I uninstall Bitpay. Because their conditions are quite complicated and fees was high. However it's good they support Lightning Network, let's see if they could adapt it.

It's funny coming from a company anti Bitcoin.

The same company that was spreading false information about SegWit. The good side is because of this a dev from Bitcoin Core created BTCpay server.
The same company that was one of the most active supporters of the evil New York Agreement But yeah I know. as usual #moneymatters.
The same that was lying about Bitcoin’s transactions in order to 'manipulate' people and make them switch to Btrash

The same that

Pretty much everything Bitcoin is supposed to help from


Are you specifically talking about the lightning network? Because Bitcoin payments processors that facilitate BTC, I could surely find two dozen. Considering the size of the market, I would say that is almost enough. Especially in the span of a few years. To have more (at the moment) would lead to saturation of the niche (in my opinion)

That's why I do not care a bit about BitPay.

They got big because there were no competition around them. They did not do it because they love bitcoin but to shill bitcoin cash. BTCpay server is the best to use whenever you need it.

It doesn't look like it:



I'm not sure, but I believe they're getting the rates from Coinbase: https://www.coinbase.com/converter/sats/usd

There's something I don't like though. It appears that the LN option will only show if you select one of the LN wallets listed there (Bluewallet, Zap, Electrum, etc.). So it's possible that users (who use other wallets) won't even notice that LN has been implemented.

It's nice to see Bitpay adding Lightning Network, but I think this is one of their last attempt trying to survive after they introduced mandatory kyc verification for all customers.
BTCPayServer is much better open source alternative that also support Lightning with zero fees, without any third parties, and it is self-hosted.
On the other hand, it's clear that Lightning Network is on the rise, as much as some people hate to see that, and more exchanges and services are implementing it.
If you still didn't use LN by 2022 than you are seriously behind and you need to try doing it.

Good thing more and more existing known payment processors implements lightning.

All the drawbacks are due to all KYC thing which a bit snag coz you need to give your personal info for just sending faster smaller transfers.

That is why I dislike bitpay and what they stood for in the crypto space.
I recall writing about it in my last posts confronting the companies practices with telling their customers they must KYC suddenly.
There are so many companies announcing they are accepting and implementing Lightning network right now with robinhood announcing it today as well.
Future is looking bright for this needed service to the bitcoin network and hoping alot more add it to their platforms.

Seems their articles: What BitPay and Copay Users Need to Know About the Bitcoin Cash Fork and What Bitcore Users Need to Know To Be Ready for Segwit Activation are updated but this Twitter Event proves how were they misleading their users about SegWit and how dishonest they are.


Bitcoin transactions made by Bitpay are significantly declining but instead the usage of stablecoins are increasing. They see that they are losing dominance in Bitcoin payments and try to strengthen them with new exclusive partnerships. Like you, I don't think it will change this trend too much.

Yes, that's what I was saying already. I didn't need to go looking for evidence on the web and bombing links in this thread. You just repeat what I said.

Additionally, Bitcoin transactions on bitpay are not declining in any way. It still represents half of the total transactions. And contrary to what you say, stablecoins are not increasing. At most, it represents only 3% and in reality, it decreased by about 30% during the last 6 months





Sure, if you compare it with last year but since the beginning of the year, the number of nodes and channels didn't increase significantly. Only the network capacity increases a bit
