I do realise we are in a buy European community but I thought you wanted just one example anywhere of somewhere that accepted crypto

It's all good, my snarkiness tends to get me into more trouble than I intended. I appreciate you taking your time to respond and taking my request seriously.

It certainly isn't something you can rely on to purchase your weekly shop

Exactly, until my Grandmother can withdraw her monero from an ATM and pay for her tobacco with it I just don't see how crypto can ever replace FIAT.

I concede that there are online services that aren't money laundering fronts or drug marketplaces that accept cryptocurrency as payment. OP also provided examples of online services accepting bitcoin.

I should have been more specific, my mistake. I was thinking more about every day purchases like groceries in a brick and mortar shop.

Apple said users who already had it turned on will be given a period of time to disable it in order to keep using their iCloud accounts, although the length of time was not stated.

I'm in the UK and have ADP enabled but I am yet to be informed by Apple when/if it will be disabled in the future. I'm glad we had a change in government but this is a serious misstep from Labour.

Then gullible people on Facebook willingly give them money believing it’s real.
