For a while now, I have been imagining how life would be if crypto payments were accepted everywhere especially since my only earning right now is in crypto, and even though most days, I would shake it off saying I was surviving well without it, today made me see the importance.
What happened today if you may ask? Well, a bit of a storytime; so, I haven't been feeling well for a while and since today I was feeling way better, I decided to get some ice cream as comfort food.
To get the ice cream, I had to go a distance with my brother, and when we got to the supermarket, we realized that the prices of the ice cream had been inflated due to the flood situation which meant I didn't have enough money to get it.
Now I had money in my hive wallet but the whole process of getting it out is long so I had to call my friend for him to send me money which he did and I took the ice cream to the counter.
I got there and tried paying with my card but, the POS machine had issues and It was declined but still, I was debited which brought another drama and I had to start withdrawing from hive because there was no other option.
While I sat down trying to withdraw, I kept thinking about how amazing it would be for crypto to be another payment method and how easy life would be not only for me but a whole lot of other people; I would have easily paid.
I also thought about how much it would help crypto in general if more people used it in their day-to-day life as a payment method but alas, we still have a long way to go, particularly in my country, and I feel like we aren't even close to getting there.
I do hope that one day soon enough, this would be normal and I wouldn't have to wait almost an hour to change my crypto to fiat while looking like I was homeless and begging my friends to send me money.
