[QUOTE="CygnusCC, post: 7881721, member: 120299"]So, my housekeeper is from El Salvador and she's heading back there next week to visit family, so I set up a wallet on her phone and sent her some bitcoin. First thing she said after I showed her how to buy things with it was: "This is too complicated!" :facepalm: :hilarious: I told her to have her daughter help her, but she's probably going to come back and still have the same amount on her phone. I also have a feeling that this is going to be repeated by anyone over 30 years old who's newly introduced to crypto and told to use it for purchases... it just isn't ready for mass commerce yet. Large dollar investments? Sure as long as you watch them. Buying a pair of shoes or a Happy Meal? Yeah, no. But, meh, we'll see how the experiment in El Salvador goes.[/QUOTE]
