Where do you see micropayments actually happening?

289 sats \ 6 comments \ @NoCodeBitcoin 30 Jan lightning

There is a lot of talk about LN enabling micropayments and Value4Value. Where do you think it will actually happen?

Is it going to be a new value economy instead of the attention economy or do you see it more in completely new use cases that have not emerged?

Seems to be happening here on Stacker News.

The most obvious to me are these. Nothing new. They are already happening. I think the missing part is people valuing bitcoin.

I mean, I could see it pretty much for anything where credit cards are used and of course there are plenty of micro-payment situations where CC doesn't make sense due to fees.

I mean you cut out the credit card processor and can collect payments directly instantly. There are devices out there now that could be used if modified. It becomes viable when bitcoin becomes as in demand as it should be. That will drive the development the equipment.

But I may not be understanding your question.

Remember the microloan Nobel Laureate a few years back? Would like to see LN fill the gaps so the unbanked can access capital.
