- jon_richards 9y agoFold let's you buy from common stores like Starbucks with bitcoin. I haven't actually used it, but I hear it's good.
- foepys 9y agoNobody will use anything that includes $3-5 transaction fees to buy something unless it's over $500. That you haven't used it is prototypical. Nobody has used it because traditional alternatives like Visa, Mastercard, or cash are better.
- jon_richards 9y agoI doubt it happens directly on the blockchain, but there are plenty of things built on top of bitcoin that make that work. Its like arguing that no one uses bank accounts for small purchases because wire transfers are too annoying.

- jon_richards 9y agoI'd imagine it uses a lightning network or something.
