    not certain if i understand your comment correctly but crypto has been used primarily as a form of payment for years before the recent boom. not for groceries or other “real life” stuff, sure, but online people did start to warm up to cryptocurrencies as a payment option.

      As I’ve said in other comments in this thread, everything I’ve been able to find on the topic has indicated that cryptocurrency is used much more as a speculative investment than as any form of payment.

        These days yes, which is a shame. But it was used primarily as payment before the financebros caught wind of it.
