I'm tutoring a friend's homeschool kids (who live in the US, I'm in Central America) in Spanish and the mom couldn't set up Payoneer so yesterday she asked if I'd accept bitcoin.
I'm an Urbiter and everyone in that scene is all about crypto.
It's still big but you're right, it's more confined to specific niches, instead of MSNBC talking about NFTs
No because most people stopped talking about it
Yeah, people on HN.

Yeah, you're just wrong. I have several people in the Philippines and South America who help me out with misc things (VA-type tasks).
All of them have asked me if I could pay them in crypto (USDC on AVAX Chain).
There's tons of people who use it for day to day. You're just in a bubble.
Am I, or are you?
Your people are dodging tax, probably because no one has got around to regulating crypto in their jurisdiction yet. Not that I blame them.
In other places where it's regulated and you get taxed anyway, there's no point in losing money on exchanges.
