Which one is better, cryptocurrency or Visa, in the end?

"Until now, I only understood that in cryptocurrency and Visa, they process billions of payments every day! Which of these two payment methods has the greatest impact on our environment? What has the greatest impact on our lives?

As we've always heard, cryptocurrency might be very environmentally unfriendly. Many processes in the cryptocurrency industry, especially mining and trading, consume a significant amount of energy. In fact, it's been found that mining just one Bitcoin requires more electricity than some entire countries like Argentina and others.

However, when it comes to eco-friendliness, is Visa as bad as cryptocurrency? Well, let's look at the data, as data speaks the truth when it comes to answering this question. The data reveals that 10,000 Visa transactions consume 148.63 kWh of electricity. In contrast, a single Bitcoin transaction uses 2,258.49 kWh of electricity. In another study, Ethereum transactions were found to use 238.22 kWh of electricity, which is much less than cryptocurrency but still a significant number when compared to the electricity used in Visa payments.

So, there's a staggering difference in the energy requirements between these two payment methods, with Visa ranking high in terms of environmental sustainability. Visa has implemented many security measures to ensure the safety of customers' funds, such as online payment verification, fraud or theft protection. However, breaking into a Visa account is often easier than breaking into a cryptocurrency wallet. Therefore, in terms of security, cryptocurrency takes the lead. But it's worth noting that if your cryptocurrency is stolen, you won't have the same legal rights as if your legal currency were stolen.

In conclusion, cryptocurrency and Visa can offer different advantages and disadvantages to users. While cryptocurrency provides high security, Visa is more environmentally friendly and convenient to use. Visa also has the advantage of faster transactions, and there are many benefits to using it. So, for now, Visa appears to be a better option than cryptocurrency.

Most businesses currently accept Visa payments, and it's a globally recognized payment method, making it very convenient for users around the world as long as they have a Visa card."

The future trend is likely to be dominated by cryptocurrencies, isn't it?

Both of these have the possibility of being hacked and stolen, and it's difficult to find a proper way to protect your interests once they're stolen.

It depends on the region. Indeed, Visa is globally accepted.

For me, cryptocurrency is just for speculation, while Visa covers all aspects of life.
