The survey of 2,250 small business owners across nine countries including the United States, Brazil, Singapore and Canada suggests cryptocurrencies may be starting to go mainstream as a means of payment. Visa found that more than 30% of small business merchants in the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Singapore and Brazil plan to offer customers the option to pay using crypto in the coming months. The other countries in the survey include Germany, Ireland and Russia. https://www.reuters.com/technology/quarter-small-businesses-across-nine-countries-plan-offer-crypto-payments-visa-2022-01-12/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/quarter-small-businesses-...

I'm really curious about the wording used, 2022 is really close and i don't see any adoption of crypto where i live. Also checking data on OpenSea (it's API) it's barely used. The total conclusion also seems "weird": > An overwhelming 82% of SMBs surveyed said they plan to accept some form of digital option in 2022 and 73% see accepting new forms of payments as fundamental to their business growth. Of those surveyed, 24% said they plan to accept digital currencies such as the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. If they don't even have a digital option, i bet the don't even "know" what a digital currency is like Bitcoin in practise and are more likely to consider it as a "cashless payment option". I think the survey could be useless for this part and i didn't find any information from VISA except: https://mms.businesswire.com/media/20220112005380/en/936084/1/10984902_2022_VISA_B2Biz_infographic_FINAL.pdf?download=1 https://mms.businesswire.com/media/20220112005380/en/936084/... https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.18711.html https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.rele... Anyone knows how to find the actual survey?
