Most peoples' answer to this depends on how long they've been in crypto.

If I was a brand new arrival absolutely not. Why would you? There are options that are non volatile and less hassle. Obtaining your crypto would've been a grind.

If you're sitting on a pile of free gains then why not? Time to realise them by buying some junk.

The latter are in a minority so I don't think any such place would thrive. And most of the time the existing places like this charge you more money for the honour of paying with crypto with much worse choice. I'd never take a shittier deal because of some sentimental attachment to my payment method and anyone who does is a numpty.


I appreciate your opinion. But I'm curious would you say for yourself that at this point of time crypto represents only an asset for you?
I in particular see and equate cryptocurrencies to other currencies like the fiat. While it can serve as a valuable asset, it will also be nice to see it being used outside our crypto wallets as an exchange for goods and services. If we dream of mass adoption, then we must teach the masses how to adopt
