That is great. I have switched to unlimited mobile data plan recently and became a frequent Spotify user. Each week I'm thinking more and more about buying a subscription to be able to listed music without commercial break and unlimited skip button. I have even started checking Digital goods (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0), searching for a best offer for subscription. And if they make it possible to pay for Spotify directly with crypto, then I would definitely buy a 1-year subscription minimum.

That means spotify will be accepting DIEM and CRYPTO as payment which is very good news to see that. We need more and more mainstream online service to adopt cryptocurrency as the payment system to its service.
I won't need to convert my crypto to the cash or something else to pay the spotify premium.
Im glad to see that.

Well, atleast libra or diem could help integrate crypto with these major services. Maybe after spotify there gonna be netflix doing the same thing or other platforms or services who knows right? usually large corporation will pratner with other large corporation.
When crypto seamlessly integrated across many platforms then we can finally ditch the over complicated crypto debit card or whatever it is. Maybe after some years we gonna see the "real" decentralized crypto being used for payment aswell.
