    Ok, I’ll pick a few random cities, and you show me a handful of supermarkets, cafes, bars, and barbers that all apparently happily accept crypto.

    San Antonio, US

    Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

    Hamilton, NZ

    Deventer, Netherlands

    You obviously won’t have an issue, because it’s so common for crypto to be used as a proper currency

      Obviously not.

      San Antonio:

      Whole foods

      Chevron

      Tiger mart

      Food Mart

      Ecobox

      Tax services

      Pizza places, repair companies, there are literally hundreds.

      Do you have something specific in mind?

      Newscastle upon Tyne:

      5wire

      Academy for distance learning

      Tech companies

      Travel companies

      Clothing companies

      Watch companies

      Do you want something specific?

      NZ and the Netherlands - also hundreds.

      Why don’t you go try using your US currency in New Zealand, the Netherlands and the UK, or try using NZD in Vanuatu?

      That’ll work out great for you.

      It’s right in line with you continually proving yourself wrong.

        Hahaha you’re not even providing examples! You’re just saying “uhhh oh yeah mate. Hundreds. Hundreds of them. I’m not going to mention any, but yeah, hundreds. You can’t get moved for them.”

        Why would I use the wrong currency for a country? That makes no sense. Yet another crappy strawman.

          The examples you ask for are literally in the previous comment.

          Do you need help reading them?

          That would explain a lot of your confusion.

          Stop using the word strawman incorrectly, since you obviously don’t know what it means.

            They aren’t. You’re just baselessly insisting there are hundreds.

            I’ll stop bringing up strawmanning when you stop doing it.

            Strawmanning is when you misrepresent or make up part of someone’s argument so you can then dismantle it. Like you did when you brought up other currencies. I never said you can use the Algerian Dinar in a cafe in Copenhagen.

              Since you don’t know what the word is, you don’t appear to need any impetus.

              I’ve literally listed about 50 in the previous comments.

              If you want more than 50, then say that.

              So far, with the grocery store chains and others, we’re over a thousand outlets.

              So we’ve already proved you wrong like a thousand times, but it is always fun for me, so please keep asking for more.
