I used LTC for daily transactions- it is faster and cheaper transfer.
I stopped using it as it’s also more volatile day to day than BTC and ETH. Again - nothing like sitting holding even 5k of that stuff and losing 5% over nothing.
It’s why I prefer stable coins. Also can make 3% APY on the ETH I hold automatically on Kraken vs .1 on BTC - doesn’t eliminate the risk of volatility- just offsets some of it by giving back a little each week.
The ease of purchasing BTC is what makes it so useful - can literally walk into an ATM stick in $100 and purchase. But we have a huge gap between niche uses of crypto and widespread acceptance. Making a few purchases online and offered crypto to each vs doing PayPal and their 3.9% fee - even offering to walk them through receiving and selling on PayPal - people have no idea and half acted like I was trying to scam them by offering crypto over old fashioned PP.

Didn't El Salvador go to a BTC national currency a while back?
I wonder how that is working out? They must have made it so every purchase can be transacted in BTC, right?
I deposited crypto, converted to USD on their exchange, then cashed out to my bank.
My balance was 0 when they closed my account.

If you are in the US, the only place to bet in BTC is Bitcoin-Betting (Pinny odds and anonymous). Nitrobetting has turned into a scam shop and Betcoin no longer takes US. Those two were once my go to shops. VPN works at Bitcoin-Betting.
