What is the situation like there? How many people talk about/use it and are there a lot of local businesses that do?
Now that the fees are going up I would imagine a lot of local businesses don't want to accept BTC.
Credit card companies in the USA charge about 3% fee to a local business when I use my CC there. If I buy something for 20 dollars that costs the business .60 cents. If I bought it with BTC it is going to cost me a dollar~ to transfer to them.
Seems like a bad deal for myself currently. It would be better for me to use my 2% cash back card and have them pay their 3%. I earn 2% while they have to pay.
Use bitcoin when it is the right move, I don’t see why people complain that much, if using bitcoin makes sense then use bitcoin, if it does not make sense then use fiat, western union, credit cards or another cryptocurrency.
