And people wonder why I don’t trust digital currency. It’s all bubbles, they’ll pop eventually.
You can use that same argument against any currency. But you’re mistaking digital currency as being different than physical currency. A $ is a $, digital or physical they are both the same value.
And you can teach a 5 year old how to count and exchange physical currency, but you gotta read half an encyclopedia of crap to even halfway wrap your mind around cryptocurrency.
Every article I read about crypto just gets longer and longer and more convoluted. How would I even go about simply purchasing a candybar at the store with cryptocurrency?
Is there an ELI5 version of a crypto tutorial that might actually explain how to even spend the stuff at the store?
I used to use the Google wallet card so much like 6-7 years ago and I think it was killed 2 years ago. I feel like Google should put more time into smaller more sustainable features
Wallet is still a thing though. I use it every day
Oh dang maybe it was just the Google pay card that I had. I forget what the name was they were all so similar

do they think that making the consumer keep up with all these pay apps is something the average person is going to actually do? i’ll just use my fucking debit card like i have for the last few decades with no problem

All I want from the wallet etc is to be able to store everything not only those who have partnered. Let me take a pic of my gym qr tag and store it there too.
Samsung used to store magnetic strip info and allow for a swipe function. Genius.

Samsung Pay’s ability to work with standard terminals that didn’t support pay apps was awesome. Idk why everyone hasn’t done that already.
