The current desktop UX (today) of using cryptocurrency to order takeaway food from the market leading delivery platform in Germany is actually MORE convenient than Visa in my experience.

Visa: get card from wallet, type in number, type in CSC code.

Cryptocurrency: pull out phone, scan QR code.

But do they give you a significant discount for crypto vs. a credit card?

In the US you can get a 2% rebate on what you spend with a credit card. In effect, you are credited back most of the merchant fees baked into transactions.

In which case cash or crypto requires a >2% discount to break even.

I'm from Argentina and all you need to remember is the CCV. And sometimes not even that
