This has not been an issue for awhile. Most places take debit cards. In Colorado, there is a chain that takes actual credit cards.

  'Most places take debit cards. In Colorado, there is a chain that takes actual credit cards.' Again... not true, at least not in a legal sense. What Industry do you work in? Yes, they accept debit cards, but they function on a whack-a-mole model. There are only a handful of Startups, one actually a YC backed company, operating out of CA that do so, but other than its done under the guise of other businesses. Most have several bank accounts setup in different entities to keep that alive, all of which are subject to confiscation and withholding of funds which compound the cost of doing business. What's even more skewed is how some players in this space get access to banking but most do not; case in point, Helping Hands in Boulder, CO. The owner, colloquially known as Crypto Mom in our circles, has access to banking but still explores other options by accepting Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies. Her situation is VERY unique, but her son became a LN developer in the process, too, which was a funny caveat.
