Good luck admins! And thanks for doing it during the Carabao cup final so I have something else to occupy my time while lemmy.world is down :)

I would imagine it’ll be similar to GTA The Definitive Edition where the original engine still handles the physics etc. and Unreal is used to render the new visuals and UI.

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.

I concede that there are online services that aren’t money laundering fronts or drug marketplaces that accept cryptocurrency as payment. OP also provided examples of online services accepting bitcoin.

I should have been more specific, my mistake. I was thinking more about every day purchases like groceries in a brick and mortar shop.

It can also be worthless from one day to the next. I hold BTC, I’ve lost £300 this week. I wouldn’t want to put my whole salary into BTC.

Fair, I was thinking more brick & mortar and grocery shops but, fair.

Noted European retailer, newegg.

Name one place I can spend crypto that isn’t a dodgy online market

Yes, the ones that ensure my money still exists if a bank goes under. Those exact ones.

This post is also intended to be a provocation to all the crypto haters

When crypto is backed by a regulatory body and isn’t just speculative gambling, I might take it more seriously.
