There is very little consumer demand to buy things in Bitcoin, esp in the US.

Maybe elsewhere tho…like South America or Africa

Of course there is little consumer demand NOW.

So what? They are big enough to create the correct incentives to change that.

Everyone will benefit, but specially them.

It’ll look bad for both Amazon and Bitcoin if they took that out and it’s a flop

Even less there.

What do you mean?

Argentina has had over 30% inflation EACH YEAR for many years in a row, for instance

They still have US dollars. They have less access to crypto and less ways to use it. They are poorer and can suffer market fluctuations worse. They don't have a government attempting to shut down fraudulent crypto actors in the way the US is.

They are actually at the forefront of adoption of The Lightning Network.

Yes they “have usd” but from What I gather it’s not the norm to get paid in USD

Crypto or no crypto, they aren't going to be paid in anything but Argentinian fiat.

So…with only a internet access, you can convert that shitty fiat to Bitcoin.

If you dollar cost average Bitcoin, it has outperformed the usd and will very likely continue to do so in the future.

And better to convert shitty fiat into something decentralized and not controlled by some other country
