Why choose Bitcoin as a platform?

Although using Bitcoin directly to build blockchain applications might seem to you somehow obscure, it still can be the best choice to build powerful applications. Apart from the fact that the blockchain and Bitcoin are hot trends, several factors can motivate you to choose Bitcoin as a platform for your next project, including the following:

  • Bitcoin is an electronic payment pioneer and the most accessible system for users worldwide.
  • Settlement processing is faster than many payment channels.
  • Transaction are without chargebacks.
  • Bitcoin is the most secure blockchain and more secure than the common payment channels.
