How is crypto being used in everyday transactions today?

Cryptocurrency is increasingly used for everyday transactions, though adoption varies by region. El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender for all transactions in 2021. Major companies like Tesla and some retailers accept Bitcoin and Ethereum payments. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are popular for cross-border payments and remittances, especially in countries with unstable currencies. Some people use crypto for online purchases, gaming, and peer-to-peer transfers. However, high transaction fees during network congestion and price volatility make crypto less practical than traditional payment methods for most everyday purchases. Lightning Network and Layer 2 solutions are improving speed and reducing costs, making crypto more viable for daily use cases.
