This makes me think of some of those small mom and pop shops that we have around where I live. Every time you pay with a credit card there is a fee that is charged. When companies are big enough, they cover those fees themselves, but when it is a smaller business, many times they collect those fees up front from customers. So whether they collect it up front or tack it on to the final price, that is a 3% increase. A 3% discount that small businesses could offer if they accepted payment in a fee-less crypto like Hive. The whole trend with BTC is definitely eye opening. I think a lot of people are going to need to shift their focus to alternatives if they haven't already like you said.

That is true.
Although think about grocery stores that operate on a very low profit margin, around 6%. Sure they pay less than 3% on credit cards, more like .75%-1%. Nevertheless, this is a big chunk of money.
Hive pay could help with this.
