Introduction
Technology is evolving everyday, new innovations bring disruption and replace the old one. Technology has transformed humans from an uncivilized state to civilized state. Thanks to a new revolutionary technology called Blockchain. It's immutable, incorruptible and unhackable nature makes it more superior than any other existing technology. Blockchain has the capability to transform every sphere of our society, that's why the world is giving a very special attention to adopt it in every business workflow.
Indeed technology provides a huge variety of choices in every service that it is being implemented. But it is not easy for any new technology to spread it's legs in every sector in which it has potential capability to transform it. But history has proved that those technologies which had faced huge opposition at early stages are now ruling the entire world, I am talking about Internet; in the similar fashion blockchain and crypto space is on the same track and sooner people can't live without it.
There is no doubt that crypto technology can transform our payment sector and it can bring new digital possibilities. But people often doesn't easily trust new affordable crypto payments even if it is technically advanced because of fear of failure. In the recent times you may have heard statements in the media which states that you can easily pay with crypto for your coffee at any cafe bar with Bitcoin, Ethereum and any other crypto tokens. But these statements are just vaporware, as the reality is completely different. Only 0.1% of commercial services accepts crypto as a payment for daily life activities. Which implies very low adoption of crypto in real world applications. The reason for limited adoption of crypto is because of slow transaction processes and high commission fee. As crypto market is highly volatile in nature merchants fear to accept it as a payment because it doesn't protect the actual price. Thus, customers need to convert crypto into Fiat and vice versa to utilize the benefits but it is lengthy and time consuming process. And the way of making crypto payment is too complex, requires some technical knowledge and is not easy and convenient as classical payment solution. Low liquidity is also a challenge for proper adoption.
Currently we all have addicted to the card payment methods as it provides simplicity and convenience. But the card issuer has full control over all our transactions and accounts as the entire working system is centralized. They can freeze our accounts at any time for any reason and we can't do anything against them. But indeed the Fiat currency that we believe in, is also not at all safe; episodes like hyperinflation and currency devaluation are nightmare to us. Our hard earned money will lose its value and ultimately we have to suffer a lot.
_But now thanks to a team of professionals who are on the mission to ease the Crypto as a payment solution for global adoption by creating a project called XCard.
