Not sure about digital payments for the unbanked. Are there any real cases of someone unbanked paying for something with crypto? I guess I can see how it could happen in theory.

For example many homeless people have smartphones but they can't get a bank account. It can be really hard to pay your bills if you don't have a bank account today.
Adoption wise we have very long to go but the tech is here.

I would if it were easier/cheaper than going to the corner store and buying a Visa Gift Card to make online purchases.
