i can pay for anything in the economy right now with BTC. It's called a crypto debit card... look it up. I don't understand this sentiment. A) 50% of btc transaction were fraudulent makes zero sense. The technology behind BTC ensures it can't be fraudulent. So unless someone wants to explain to me how the hackers broke BTC's consensus to buy... videogames? it makes noe sense.

  I don't think i've ever run into one here in the US that didn't let me use my crypto card. I don't even remember the last time i carried cash?

    I'm in the U.S., too. You must not go very many interesting places, or find yourself in very many interesting situations. I guess maybe a crypto debit card is good for people who lead plain lives. Like hanging around town and going to the movies and the candy store. But I require both cash and a real credit card for my life. Debit cards have failed me too often.

      Okay - but now we are really picking at semantics here, aren't we? If i changed my answer to everywhere who accepts a debit card can accept crypto, does it really change the sentiment of what i'm trying to convey? Because at that point i can go on a tangent and say well, the USD is actually accepted at less places than BTC because i can use my debit card in mexico but you can't use USD.

        So now we're talking about Mexico? You specifically stated that you were in the U.S. and talking about the U.S. in your original comments. I'm starting to believe that you are in neither, or have only a tourist's experience in either. in mexico but you can't use USD This is completely the opposite of my experience in Mexico, which is mostly in Chihuahua and TJ. I've never had any problems using USD in Mexico, and some people actually preferred it. And while plastic was widely accepted, cash was absolutely king. I haven't been to Mexico since just before the pandemic started, but I don't believe the situation has changed all that much in that short a time.
