Every article I read about crypto just gets longer and longer and more convoluted. How would I even go about simply purchasing a candybar at the store with cryptocurrency?
Is there an ELI5 version of a crypto tutorial that might actually explain how to even spend the stuff at the store?

…but nobody’s talking about cryptocurrency though. Just you. Brought that up out of nowhere 😂

Guess I forgot exactly what thread I was responding to after I woke up, my bad.
Still, honestly I don’t get how any of these digital currency exchanges are supposed to work. I couldn’t even get my bank to accept my tax return as a direct deposit, they rejected the transaction and had to send me a paper check.
At least I know what to do with paper in hand, but digital currency of any form, I’m totally lost.

I actually installed bank computers thank you very much. Even had C3 level security clearance for a bit to do my job.
I can’t help it that their software can’t do a simple fucking direct deposit from the IRS, I didn’t write any of their software, I have no idea how it’s supposed to work, and even the bank manager couldn’t understand why the deposit didn’t go through either.
When I realized even the bank manager couldn’t understand it, was when I said fuck this, closed my bank account, and have stuck to physical cash ever since.
