Define “worked” in this context. You mean their own infrastructure didn’t crash? You certainly didn’t pop down to the store and buying anything useful with Monero 😂

Not that day I didn’t, but I have bought Domino’s several times this month, and I bought my groceries at the beginning of the month.

So do you use some kind of payment app that does a conversion or do you have to manually convert from Monero to fiat currency?

Most retailers don’t accept crypto at the point of purchase so I’m curious as to how this would be convenient enough to use regularly.

There are businesses that specifically sell gift cards to retailers for Monero and when possible I search out and purchase from retailers who accept Monero. Https://monerica.com and https://xmrbazaar.com help with that.

My point was more that using Monero as an example is probably not the best way to cryptobrah an illustrative point.
