Do you know of a population segment that makes more than 10% of their monthly purchases in cryptocurrency alone or a major business that receives a greater than 10% revenue from cryptocurrency?

I have heard of people on here living in silicon valley who claim to purchase occasional drinks with cryptocurrency, but I have not heard of practical or regular expenditures with cryptocurrency or anybody that I know offline who uses it for any kind of expense.

I purchased a laptop on Newegg last year using Bitcoin. Expedia takes Bitcoin as a payment method. Both of these are practical (and in some cases regular) expenditures.
