Public perception needs to change, my thinking is seeing smaller places or any places starting to offer crypto as a payment option would help normalise it, rather than being the thing they spent ages jumping through hoops to buy only to be left with falling in value like a stone with nowhere to spend it.
Obviously there are another technical issues with Bitcoin for example like high TX fees during busy periods but I suppose thats where either technical improvents come or something else down the line.
There must be others on this site who feel the same way Im sure.
