Here is what happens when you pay for a €2.80 flat white with BCH. Each stop shows one thing BCH does differently, plus the one place it is slower.
- 0.0 s 0.0 s · Stop 1 · Tap
You scan the code and tap Pay.
No account, no card and no sign-up. Your wallet holds the keys, so no company can freeze it. Paying a shop abroad works the same way as paying one next door.
Under the hoodThe wallet builds a 226-byte transaction: 1 coin in → 2 coins out (the café, and your change)
- 0.1 s 0.1 s · Stop 2 · Fee
Postage, not gas.
You pay for the bytes you send, like postage. There is no fee auction, so a busy afternoon costs the same as a quiet one, whether you send $1 or $1,000.
Under the hood226 bytes × 1 sat per byte = 226 sats ≈ $0.001
- < 1 s < 1 s · Stop 3 · Relay
The network watches for cheats.
Nodes pass your payment along. If anyone tries to spend the same coins twice, they relay a double-spend proof to the merchant.
Under the hoodtx relayed → no conflict found → double-spend risk: low
- ~2 s ~2 s · Stop 4 · Seen
The café sees it.
The terminal shows the payment with a risk score. For a coffee, that is enough to hand it over.
Under the hoodPAID ✓ 0.0067 BCH (example amount)
- side trip side trip · Stop 5 · Loyalty
A loyalty token rides along.
A shop can issue its own CashToken. It sits inside a coin in your wallet. There is no approve() to drain it, and no admin can pause it.
Under the hoodcoin #2 token: CAFE × 1 nft: "visit 7 of 10"
- ~10 min ~10 min · Stop 6 · The wait
Then it waits for a block.
Blocks average ten minutes, so settlement takes minutes, not seconds. For large sums, wait for a confirmation or two.
Where BCH falls short- Solana settles faster.
- Fewer shops take BCH than take cards.
- Payments are public on the ledger, so don't assume privacy.
- Prices move, so spend what you are comfortable holding.
Same coffee, four chains.
Each bar shows the time until the payment is settled, on a 15-minute scale. BCH ties Solana on cost and loses to it on speed.
