Might be a topic for different (but related) thread, the various systems that let people spend sats, even if the merchant doesn't receive sats. Still noteworthy for individuals that want to start living on a Bitcoin Standard more easily.
A few that come to mind:
- MoneyBadger (formerly known as CryptoConvert) in South Africa that lets people pay with Lightning in all the Pick n Pay stores in the country.
- Bitcoin Jungle lets you send sats across the local mobile money network.
- Tando.me (their Geyser page with more info) similar to Bitcoin Jungle, but in Kenya, allows anyone to spend sats anywhere in the entire country by tapping into the M-Pesa mobile money network that 95% of the population already uses.
- CoopPay an app offered by Pouch.ph that allows payment of bills using bitcoin.
I also heard BTCSessions talking about another similar option in Prague, Czech Republic but I didn't catch the name of the integrations provider.
