Largely depends on your customer demographic of course. One in 10 people worldwide even touch crypto right now (2024) and most of them in Asia.

The rest of most people's customers use good old regular currency.

And as for horror stories, crypto has to take the prize there.

What? Crypto is either illegal (China, Indonesia) or highly restricted and regulated in the major Asian economies. India’s government is considered new restrictions. Russian law doesn’t allow accepting crypto for payments or as currency, nor do Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan.

Micro-transactions are very popular in much of Asia but those aren’t in crypto.
