I was getting a coffee and the barista was like, do you have Venmo? Our system is down.

I didn't have Venmo, or cash, so I had to go somewhere else where they had another payment system, Clover I think.

All the while, I was thinking this is exactly what crypto is supposed to solve. Not just for the customers, as another way of paying, but for the businesses, who are wholly dependent on whichever payments company they're using to not shit the bed.
