Yes, I did it again, I went to the supermarket here in Venezuela and paid directly crypto, this time with Litecoin!

Hi guys, as you know I'm Venezuelan living here crypto enthusiast, weeks ago I posted my experience going to a supermarket where crypto is accepted here in Venezuela paying with Bitcoin, it was good.

I went again this time to buy some things I needed and this time I used Litecoin (encouraged by a fellow redditor that wants to remain anonymous), in theory it should be fast and cheaper and it was!

​

Purchased things

The cashier screen, after I told my I wanted to pay with Litecoin:

​

So 0.32757601 LTC, at the time it was 29.06 USD or 659.69 Bs. (Bolivares, national currency). You have to remember that the MONTHLY minimum \"plain\" wage is only 130 Bs. (5 USD), so this purchase was around 5x monthly minimum wage. Average wage is around 120 USD monthly.

And the transaction:

The fee was 0 (Yes, 0 USD). It was really fast, less than 1-2 minutes for the 1st confirmation, they showed me a QR code, wait 1-2 minutes and done.

I would totally recommend it!

I couldn't hodl the LTC, anyway I was going to exchange them to Bolivares or USD to purchase the items shown in the picture, so if LTC goes to 1K that would make me feel better.

As always, inflation here is crazy (anything under 10% MONTHLY is like a miracle) and since 2007 , 14 zeroes have been removed from the currency (last time 6 zeroes in 2021).

Any question, suggestion or request let me know!
