Who cares about making transactions via cryptocurrencies, really?

Quite a lot of people, which is why silicon valley poured money into creating apps that interfaced with business checkouts.

The whole fee debacle caused Steam to stop bitcoi payment because of the fees:

The race is now on for Bitpay to enable BCH (and perhaps other alts) - and if they can then win Steam back as a customer, we are set for bitcoin being excluded in payments but alts being enabled. Which should boost alts a lot.

My point was that people wanting to spend a highly appreciating asset are a large minority amongst people looking to hoard it.

Especially when 9 out of 10 times they can just use a depreciating asset like FIAT.
