    Never heard of whole foods. You shouldn’t assume people are from wherever you’re from. I’m guessing it’s a food shop?

    But congratulations, you’ve named one company 🎉👏

    You’ll note that I’ve been saying there’s practically nowhere that accepts crypto, not literally nowhere on planet earth. So well done on your strawman, but it doesn’t contradict what I’ve said at all.

    People use crypto as a stock. Not a currency.

    Widely accepted

    Haha hahahahaha

    HAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA

    HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA

    AHAHAHA

    HAHA HAHAHAHAHA

    hahaha

    ha

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I’ll stick to using real money. If I called up my mortgage provider and said “oh I’m not going to be paying in £ anymore, but I can give you Monero!” I’d be evicted pretty damn quick. As would you if you paid any bills.

      By all means, broadcast your ignorance in force.

      Your argument is that grocery stores don’t accept cryptocurrency.

      Now you’ve learned that at least 500 grocery stores do.

      Microsoft accepts crypto. Have you heard of Microsoft? Or is the underside of your rock totally empty?

      Have you heard of AT&T? AMC theaters?

      How many more examples of your ignorance would you like?

        No, my argument is that it’s not really used as a currency, but treated like a stock. Which is true.

        Even for the few people who intend to pay using it, the vast majority of places don’t accept it.

        Now you’ve learned that at least 500 grocery stores do.

        I’ll take your word for it, cryptobro. As I’ve stated, I haven’t heard of that retailer.

        Have you heard of Microsoft?

        Yup. But when I go on their site I don’t see any option of paying with crypto. I’ve tried the Windows/Office sites, as well as the Minecraft site that they obviously own.

        Have you heard of AT&T? AMC theaters?

        No and no.

        You’re again assuming I’m from wherever you’re from. Almost certainly the US, as when people assume everyone knows about some random thing in their country, it’s usually an American.

        Ok so I looked it up and apparently AT&T is an ISP. So I looked at mine. BT? No crypto. Virgin Media? No crypto. Sky? No crypto. EE? No crypto. Vodafone? No crypto.

        For cinemas, Vue, Odeon, Cineworld all also don’t have crypto payments.

        Widely accepted indeed lmao

          Yes, not literally every company globally accepts cryptocurrency yet, same as other currencies, but thousands of them do.

          You’re learning!

          That’s what’s important.
