Meh. Yes and no. There’s actually quite a few places that accept Bitcoin at this point. Alternatively, you can use it to buy gift cards for many different retailers.
But yeah, you usually can’t walk up to the checkout counter and tap your card, unfortunately.
A LLM to write emails and a crypto wallet were among the least voted/requested features on their last big survey and yet barely a month after the survey was done, they’ve released both things.
There’s still no calendar widget on Android and iOS and other very basic things that have been widely requested for years now

It’s not unfortunate. It’s not accepted as currency because it does none of the things currency is for.

I pay for my VPS and domain with Monero. It will never be as big as Visa, but it doesn’t have to be - it has its niche.
