do you use crypto for daily purchases, like going to a corner store or buying groceries, or is it more informal and a way to transfer money between friends? Or is it a store of value and you liquidate some periodically for purchases? Also thank you for educating me, this makes much more sense than anything from my perspective.


Not op. But I do buy groceries with crypto. Amazon is kinda irrelevant around here (Switzerland) and the biggest local competitor accepts crypto for several years now. Some places even accept it for taxes.

I rarely used to for P2P transfers, but I find crypto super useful for online shopping.
