Adoption rate at this point is about 0.5%. I guess things will start to change here on HN at 10% global adoption rate (5 more years)

  Adoption as what? To do anything useful with Crypto you still need to change it to a real currency on a bank account.

    I just bought 3 plane tickets with Bitcoin yesterday on cheapair.com. Just because it's not used by everybody, it can be useful for some people. Bitcoin has never failed me while travelling.

      I don't doubt that you can pay in Crypto by exchanging BTC against USD. But prices are still denominated in USD and the reciever most likely has to hedge against potential losses due to quickly fluctuating exchange rates.

        Not really. They were in Mexican pesos, but it didn't matter, I didn't have to exchange anything. Let me guess, you're from US.
