This post is a reminder that Visa and Mastercard are two american companies and that every time you pay for something with your credit card you are most likely paying taxes to trump and his goons.

This post is also intended to be a provocation to all the crypto haters and the cashless payment fanatics.

I do realise we are in a buy European community but I thought you wanted just one example anywhere of somewhere that accepted crypto

It’s all good, my snarkiness tends to get me into more trouble than I intended. I appreciate you taking your time to respond and taking my request seriously.

It certainly isn’t something you can rely on to purchase your weekly shop

Exactly, until my Grandmother can withdraw her monero from an ATM and pay for her tobacco with it I just don’t see how crypto can ever replace FIAT.

Same thing with an apple pay feature possibly. Might real time sell the coins and convert to cash in the payment process, or if it’s an established coin the business may eventually just accept it like cash or debit.
