Only a few years ago we had a growing number of shops here in berlin that you were able to buy food and/or drinks from for bitcoin. Right now there are no more of these stores left. And most of the sellers I used to buy things from on the big marketplaces now refuse to trade bitcoin too and changed to etherium. I know for those people that think that bitcoin is the new gold it is not that bad but bitcoin was "released" to be something completely different. Right now bitcoin is no real crypto currency at all. Buy a coffee for 2,5 bucks and pay 25 bucks fee.... sure.......... In my opinion bitcoin completely failed because of these fees and I sold every last satoshi and invested in other crypto currencies. Is there a single reason to stick to bitcoin? If yes, please feel free to tell me!
i don't expect much than this, if you are those shop owners wouldn't you have done the same? Every reasonable business man would do the same.
Just imagine you wanted to buy a stuff from the supermarket worth $5 and you are been charged a transaction fee worth $7, will you still go on with the transaction?
Vendors that do accept BTC as a payment method are no longer making money so they have to switch to other alternative which is ETH. This is a wise decision which any business man will take.
