Let’s scale this down to the UK 🇬🇧

If every adult aged 18–60 made just ONE payment per day…

- ~35 million people in that age range
- Average daily transaction: £10
- Typical card fee ~2% = £0.20 per payment

That’s:
35,000,000 × £0.20 = £7,000,000 in fees… every single day.

Over a year:
£7M × 365 = ~£2.55 BILLION lost to card fees.

Now compare that to Bitcoin Lightning:
Fees are often a fraction of a penny.

Same spending, but instead of billions going to payment processors… it stays with individuals and businesses.

One small habit change.
Massive systemic impact.

Scale matters.
