Bitcoin is not used a payment service and neither is [Bitcoin Cash] or any other crypto.

In tendering such an absolute claim, you have rendered yourself absolutely wrong.

Cheers!

Why so >? Please tell me at which supermarket I can pay with crypto would love to know.

Target. Whole Foods. ...

Gyft. I thought everyone in the crypto space already knew of this. C'est la guerre.

Or alternatively - Xapo. Shift. ...

I thought everyone in the crypto space knew of this, too.

Or alternatively any retailer using BitPay or similar service.

I thought ...

Perhaps you are new here. At one point, actual retail Point Of Sale Bitcoin transactions were starting to become A Thing. But that was before Scalepocalypse.

Great u still don't get my point huh. Don't you see almost everyone is using it to trade with or as a store of value. Crypto's are awesome to trade with cause they are so volatile.

I think I get your point, but you make it poorly. And my initial reply should have informed you exactly what was wrong with your blanket statement. But you somehow did not see it.

True, cryptos are not used as a leading payment system.

Now here's my point: to some small extent, they are being used for payments. Which makes your absolute statement false.

Now here is a second point I snuck in along the way: crypto used to be used more for payments than it is today. Its use went from increasing to declining when Core's insane Raspberry Pi fetish led them to throw the payments use case -- along with many other use cases -- asunder. As persistently full blocks led to indeterminate settlement times and untenably escalating transaction fees.

Fortunately, Bitcoin Cash fixes this broken model that Bitcoin Segwit has abandoned. With any luck, uptake of the payments model will have another positive inflection. Leading to a healthy, viable, vigorous, and profitable Bitcoin Cash payments ecosystem.

Yes sure more used as payments maybe on the darknet,  but anywhere else no not realy ...
