As a vendor that tried accepting crypto I can confirm that it's basically non-existent. And the few transactions that do take place have a lot more issues than regular payments: https://blog.shodan.io/accepting-crypto-a-vendor-perspective...

It's almost as if people don't actually want a multiple dollar transaction fee that can take an hour (or more) to process.
That may be acceptable when you use bitcoin (or more likely Monero) to buy whatever your heart desires, but is absolutely not usable for regular purchases.
It still makes front page news on reddit if someone does groceries with crypto: https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/13a9q3r/yes...
People write articles if a house gets sold with bitcoin: https://finbold.com/house-in-portugal-sold-for-3-bitcoins-in...
Spending bitcoin on "stuff" basically doesn't exist. It's a rounding error.
