I remmeber way back in the day you could get apparel with Bitcoin labels on it for Bitcoins. Many stores opened up and then we had a huge pump in price. It's happened. The scaling problem, ie the fees of BTC shut things down.
Yeah I remember when the forbitcoins site was operating and really the site turned me off in terms of getting Bitcoin. Now, its multichain and the Bitcoin Cash network alone could handle 100x the traffic of BTC.
I see it has many options other than Bitcoin. AVA is a Binance smartchain asset. I see a lot of people trusting this chain, though its centralized. Binance people have apparently been good guys so far.
