The rise of crypto micropayments is radically transforming digital consumption, opening new doors for creators, consumers, and platforms.
🚀 Crypto micropayments: the revolution of digital consumption
🧩 What is happening?
• Total disintermediation: creators receive direct payments without going through platforms like YouTube or Spotify.
• Economy of brief content: newsletters, short videos, and articles are monetized with minimal payments, in real-time.
• Solutions like Lightning Network enable instant transactions with almost zero fees.
🔥 Why does it matter?
• Empowers the user: pays only for what they consume, without subscriptions or long commitments.
• Accessibility in LATAM: where banking access is limited, crypto micropayments offer financial inclusion.
• Boost to AI: micropayments allow payment for data, algorithms, or automated tools, accelerating the digital economy.
⚠️ Current barriers
• Interfaces still complex (wallets, private keys).
• Lack of education about blockchain.
• But browsers like Brave and Opera are closing this gap.
