A significant development in the adoption of Lightning, a Bitcoin payment system, has been buried in a recent article.
According to a Voltage executive, all Square payment terminals will have Lightning integration by the end of the year.
This is a substantial breakthrough, as it means many merchants will unknowingly have the ability to accept Bitcoin payments.
Although some of these merchants may not retain the Bitcoin they receive, others who have been eager to use Bitcoin but lacked a compatible point-of-sale system may now be able to do so, potentially offsetting the difference.
