I'm am completely aware that using a debit card is fiat as hell and has nothing to do with bitcoin. Thanks for the link to the article, and I didn't know I could pay my bills directly with bitcoin. However I still have the same issue with buying groceries. The only way I can spend bitcoin at local stores is by either selling bitcoin for cash, or using a fiat debit card. I can't even buy gift cards, as almost no stores are available on bitrefill in my country
Convince your local groceries. Mom&pop shops, not giant chains...
I did that some years ago and now I live only paying with BTC, P2P.
You can do it if you really want it.

When faced with a user experience issue, it should not be up to the user to fix the issue. Not everyone has the time to talk to their local grocery stores and try to get people on boarded with Bitcoin. We are working class people who believe in this but just want to buy some fucking groceries, man. Do we not have a seat at the table because we are not as frothing at the mouth as you? We have lives outside of this. Who the fuck cares who you mark any of us as, who the fuck even ARE you and why do you think you matter in any component of this?????
The ego you have for the nobody that you are is incredible.

Another quick option for you is to use a friend.
You pay him in BTC, he pays your fiat bill.
You help him, he helps you.
Another way is to use ShopinBit concierge services: anything you want, paid with BTC

Just think about this: by going to a grocery store with a VISA card (it doesn't matter if is debited using BTC) you are supporting that merchant to keep accepting VISA/fiat instead of helping them to accept BTC. They will never accept BTC if you keep going with a VISA card.

Where do you want to spend? I use bitrefill to buy REWE gift cards which you can redeem in the REWE supermarkets which are all across Germany. It works flawless.
