That's one thing that needs to change though. I agree, with a little creativity you can usually figure out a way to pay for just about anything with crypto.

I think the fact that we have to convert to gift cards, or some other way to use it, adds to the belief that it's a scam or the stores and service stations would just accept crypto themselves.

We really need a few retailers online and brick and mortar to start accepting crypto. Once people see they can buy groceries or gas, without jumping thru hoops, the floodgates will open. It's just a better way for payments, interest, and banking in general. We just need a few brave retailers like Amazon, or McDonalds, or Pizza Hut to open the door in my opinion.

Still, while you and I learn about this new technology, we are pleasantly surprised with the results from time to time. This really is an experiment in finance and frankly, I believe we're making history here on Hive and in the cryptocurrency community in general.
