Where did you get this number? Transactions for as low as 1 satoshi per vbyte have been included for a while, with the average around 10 sats/vbyte. That’s like 3 cents for one transaction.

3 cents sounds like a good deal. But how do we buy a piece of bread with bitcoin at grocery store?

Well, you can't buy that.

But you can buy servers at vultr.com or domains at porkbun.com (that's what I use bitcoin for) :)

My grocery store has a crypto ATM. I wish I were joking.

you can if you are in El Salvador for example

Litecoin fixes this

Credit cards cost much more than $30. Try spending more than $1000-2000 on a credit card, the merchant easily eats more than that.

Very few places that accept credit cards give cash discounts anymore.

Because Visa made that against there rules.

Only in a few states.

They tried, but it's been deemed not legal for them to do that in most states.
