Satlantis is trying to make Bitcoin useful in everyday life. The company has launched a new ticketing platform that runs directly on Bitcoin. With this system, event organizers can accept BTC payments through the Lightning Network. At the same time, they can still take normal fiat payments like card or cash. This approach gives people more choice and makes Bitcoin easier to use in real situations.
Most ticketing platforms rely on banks and payment processors. These middlemen charge service fees and take a percentage of each sale. To solve this problem, Satlantis built its system around the Lightning Network, which works on top of Bitcoin. Lightning allows fast and low-cost transactions. Users can send Bitcoin in seconds and pay very small fees.
Satlantis Brings Bitcoin Into Event Payments
Satlantis designed the platform to feel simple and familiar. Buyers do not need deep crypto knowledge to complete a purchase. During checkout, they can choose Bitcoin just like they would select a debit card. A built-in Lightning wallet processes the payment almost instantly. As a result, the experience feels smooth and easy.
Event organizers also gain clear advantages. They receive funds much faster than through traditional banking systems. Lower processing costs help them keep more revenue from each ticket sale. In addition, they can attract Bitcoin users who prefer to spend crypto instead of fiat. This opens a new audience without removing standard payment options.
Satlantis Uses Lightning for Speed and Low Fees
The Lightning Network plays a central role in this launch. At times, Bitcoin’s main network can become slow or expensive during heavy traffic. Lightning solves this issue by handling small payments off the main blockchain. Because of this structure, transactions settle quickly and cost less.
For ticket sales, speed matters. Customers expect quick confirmation after payment. Lightning provides that instant feedback. Organizers also benefit from faster settlement, which supports better cash flow and planning.
A Step Toward Real-World Bitcoin Adoption
Online reactions show strong interest in the launch by Satlantis. Many users praised the focus on real-world use instead of pure speculation. Others filled comment sections with unrelated token promotions, which often happens in crypto spaces. Even so, the main message remains clear.
Satlantis is building practical tools, not just ideas. Ticketing offers a simple but powerful test case for Bitcoin payments. If more events adopt this model, everyday crypto use could move one step closer to reality.

When will Bitcoin rebound? Historical data reveals key prices and potential buying opportunities
February 24 News, Bitcoin has recently been on a continuous decline, sparking market attention on the recovery timing. According to Glassnode data, the 90-day realized profit and loss ratio has fallen below 1 for the first time since 2022, indicating that the market has entered an oversold phase. Historical experience shows that this state typically lasts about six months, suggesting that Bitcoin may remain at low levels until the end of the third quarter of this year.
The realized profit and loss ratio reflects the proportion of profits and losses in on-chain transactions. When the ratio is below 1, losses dominate, and investors are mostly capitulating. Past bear market cycles—2015, 2018, and 2022—have all shown this pattern. During these lows, market panic is common, but it also presents potential buying opportunities.

Vitalik Buterin Analyzes Bitcoin Privacy Limitations: Why Decentralization Takes Priority Over Privacy
February 24 News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at an event in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that Bitcoin was designed with a priority on decentralization rather than privacy features, so it cannot effectively support both. He pointed out that Bitcoin, in order to maximize decentralization, has almost sacrificed privacy benefits, resulting in highly transparent transactions and account information on the blockchain.
Buterin explained that early cryptographic technology relied on centralized institutions to protect privacy because achieving full decentralization and privacy simultaneously was nearly impossible at the time. He emphasized that Bitcoin's design trade-offs involve some sacrifices in privacy, but its decentralization advantage provides the foundation for its network security and resistance to censorship.
