Actually crazy to see binance as payment method, ive yet to see that rolled out on our side, I wonder how many people are using them as their banking app

This is why I have ways argued medium of exchange don't matter, once the market cap is large enough.

It's all about what they are willing to accept.

Shame they don't accept Bitcoin though, not quite there yet I guess.

As I see you had some USDT available. Is it common and somewhat generally accepted? Could you compare this to Bitcoin as a payment option? In this particular shop it is clearly 1:0 for USDT.

Yes, USDT here is really common and generally accepted i've seen many shops accepting usdt so yes i can compare it to Bitcoin as a payment option.

i can hold my btc and only sell the little amount i need for the payment and that's exactly what i did here

This is the perfect use case for Lightning Network. Well as long as you do it through an app that is, not DIY Lightning nodes.

You got a lot of foods for five bucks. I'm not sure I get the same amount in my country Local currencies die and price of food is skyrocketing
