No. Here’s what’s more likely, brainlet. He tells me it’ll be $10 for the meal, I whip out my crypto card and scan it. It converts the crypto to fiat and pays. Stuff like Coinjar already exists. It’s not advanced enough to auto sell if you have insufficient funds but it just means you’ll have to convert to fiat before you start spending, which can be done via their app.

It will probably be like shopping at international airports. The price will most likely be listed in the local currency, but you can pay in other currencies. Crypto payments will probably be similar to Applepay (in terms of UI).

Why the fuck would I go to a McDonald’s with only quarters. And why would I be inserting them into a cashier. And where?
Now you’ve got me interested. Is there a timeline where I can insert 10 quarters into this cashier’s arsehole and buy my nugs?
