My preferred user nominations: nullama

I think nullama can also be nominated for the best newbie of the year based on the history of the quality of his posts and also the number of merit he gets. Of course I don't know this man/woman, but I think he deserves a newbie lineup that deserves to be nominated.

It seems that nullama is quite concerned with the growth of bitcoin adoption, he knows what bitcoin is and he can explain to us well that bitcoin has real uses as a currency or means of payment in various countries. Here's the quote.

Elektra supermarket in Mexico recently started accepting Bitcoin payments and is encouraging their clients to do so, as they offer a 20% discount when paying with it (until end of the year).

Here's the promo banner (in Spanish):



Now people in Mexico are able to buy groceries, and retail in general using Bitcoin directly.

An interesting thing to consider is that the parent company, Grupo Elektra, has operations in these countries: Mexico, US, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, Panama, and El Salvador.

That means that they already accept Bitcoin directly from at least 2 countries: Mexico, and El Salvador. Some of the other countries in that list could potentially be the next one.
