My people! What's going on with this? If you're one of those who use VPNs to browse safely and pay with cryptos, pay attention, because things are getting interesting. It seems that Bitcoin (BTC), the king of cryptos, is seeing how other coins are starting to catch up when it comes to paying for those services. Yes, you heard that right! 🤯
A recent study by CoinGate, which is like the official gossip source for crypto payments, revealed something that left us speechless. It turns out that 12% of people who pay for their NordVPN (that thing is top-notch for online security!) with cryptocurrencies are choosing Litecoin (LTC) and TRON (TRX). Can you imagine? LTC accounted for 5.7% of payments and TRX 5.4%. They're skyrocketing! 🚀
Of course, Bitcoin is still the champion, with 40.9% preference. And Tether (USDT), that stablecoin, takes the silver medal with 29.1%. They are heavyweights, no doubt!
But why are people turning to altcoins to pay for VPNs? Well, the answer is simple, friends: lower fees and faster transactions! It’s like when you prefer the bus because it’s cheaper and gets you to the stop quicker. Altcoins are offering that advantage, and people aren’t stupid; they’re taking advantage of it!
In fact, the folks at CoinGate had already dropped the bomb last year: TRON was the most used blockchain in 2024, and why? Because it works wonderfully with USDT and is a green bill that doesn’t leave you broke with fees!
And don't think that only the big altcoins are getting involved. Even the memecoins are putting up a fight! Shiba Inu (SHIB), that little dog that has us all hooked, saw a 61.6% surge in payment volume on CoinGate last year! Pure madness!
So, even though stablecoins like USDT are not going to disappear overnight, it is clear that the flexibility these alternative coins give you is serious business. Get ready, because it seems we'll be seeing them everywhere in the future! 🍜 Stay alert to market movements!$LTC $TRX $BTC
