Upgrading Gig Economy Payments with Bitcoin and Lightning Network

February 08, 2024


Would you agree that anyone in the world can contribute to the global economy and should get paid instantly? More often than not, people are paid slowly and with unnecessarily high fees. This post will show you how gig economy platforms have given their users better options with digital currencies, which save time, increase retention, and improve the overall experience of regular and power users (and how you can too).

At Neutronpay, our perspective is that anyone, such as a remote worker in the United States, or someone living in a remote rural village in Africa, can get paid instantly thanks to:

  • Bitcoin, a global currency that anyone with a smartphone can receive.

  • USD stablecoin, which is a type of digital currency that is pegged to the US dollar.

  • The Lightning Network, which allows a platform to “stream” value in real-time, at a very low cost and is capable of handling up to 4 million+ transactions per second.

Neutronpay has built the infrastructure for businesses to integrate the power of Bitcoin, USD stablecoins & Lightning Network, bridge the gap between legacy payments and next-generation payment systems, and power their users with a 10x better experience.

The above article has an interesting statistic from Premise:

Many people have strong opinions about Bitcoin, especially when it comes to offering it as a payout method. But when millions of users choose it then we should pay attention and understand what the customer wants. That will be the topic of our next post.
