I can't show you, but if you travel in Bangkok and use LINE Pay, then you're using one. Combination of CQRS, event sourcing and kafka. And I agree with falkensmaz3, they definitely do exist and they work much better in terms of de

There are some merchants in some places that accept crypto currencies in exchange for goods and services. So yes, saying that none do is "strictly" false. The question though is are there any merchants that provide, on a wide basi
