My mother and I own a small clothing store in a touristic part of Mexico.
I opened the store this morning at around 10:30AM (UTC-6) and right away a young couple walked into the store and started trying on a few jackets, after a while he selected three of them (about 60USD each) and approached me at the counter...
-Hey, so- I want to buy these jackets but I don't have cash on me or a card from any bank. Do you accept any other form of payment?
-Sorry, what do you mean? (At the moment I was imagining some pretty weird things tbh)
-Like Pay Pal, or Venmo?
-Oh! right. Sorry, I don't have an account in either.
Pause...
-I could probably take Crypto...
-Yeah that be cool, would XRP be fine? (Fastest transaction speed of the currencies available in the most popular crypto exchanges in Mexico)
I felt so exited! A real life transaction of physical goods for crypto currency! Just like the pizza guy! The transaction went fine and didn't take too long. Afterward I put that shit into BTC and ETH and due to the recent spike I'm already up like 6%!!! My mom said we should put a sign that says "We accept Bitcoin" lol.
Do any of you have personal stories of transactions of the kind? I'd love to hear them!
(I hope this isn't a breach of Rule 5.2. If it is, I Apologize and feel free to delete)
