Before people ruined it this was one of the ideas behind crypto

If nothing else it's a bit of a faff. But again you'd need someone to convert it to fiat for it to be useful in every day life, which isn't super removed from a payment processor. It's pretty much difficult to get away from a middleman somewhere.

The idea is it becomes the fiat

I hate so much everytime I remember what cryptocurrency was supposed to be and what has become.

For a little while I bought coffee and strawberries with Bitcoin back more than 9ish years ago. It was pretty cool easy with the first apps.

Worked well.

I got some works my a couple of contracts. So not so much Fiat was needed. Only later.
