Shopify for monero is an idea being kicked around, there are also monero marketplaces for non- illegal things

Monero could be used in a store and some stores do take monero! Its quick, with low fees




It's maybe quick with low fees now while no one is using it.

It has the exact same practical problems every other distributed cryptocurrency has preventing it from being useful as an actual currency. If Monero ever started seeing adoption as an actual currency it would fall apart just like Bitcoin.


Is moner just quick for now but as it scales it'll be slow like bitcoin? Or is there something unique about monero that makes it fast?


> Or is there something unique about monero that makes it fast?

The fact people aren't using it. It's just a PoW coin with some special sauce. Same grey goo energy and equipment dynamics.
