Just as you would never buy a cup of coffee with an ounce of Gold, Bitcoin is not ever going to be effective in a retail setting.

I can't remember the last time I used cash in a Dunkin Donuts to buy a cup of coffee. I simply go to the app, order my coffee, and go inside to pick it up. Totally touchless transaction and DD has no idea how I'm actually paying for it. All they do is extract the amount required from my pre-loaded balance in the app.

I forgot I was on the internet. For every generalization, there is an exception. Lol.

I agree with you. I have a dunkin app as well. I hate Starbucks.

Honestly, every week I take $100 in cash out for incidentals. At the end of the week what’s left goes into my “secret cash fund” that I use for Christmas gifts for my grandkids.

For the past year I don’t think I’ve put less than $80 at the end of the week.

No one uses cash any more.

I guess Inshould have written that using Bitcoin specifically for retail transactions is slow and expensive. It would be like using a gold eagle. The cashier wouldn’t know what to do with it.

For something like buying a car or a home, or a capital expense that does not require immediacy it is much cheaper than wiring money.
