OOOOOO LITECOIN BOOMER BROS WERE GONNA MAKE IT

SHEEEEEEEIT NIGGA! YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!

>50% off current prices for paying with litecoin, a volatile asset
so, do they expect a ~50% appreciation in litecoin price in a year or so, or how long do they want to hold litecoins on their balance sheet?

(((They))) are pushing Litecoin to prevent those disillusioned by Bitcoin from discovering Monero

>just 750 stores
Why are you acting like this isn't a lot?

>>60752732
because it's not lol

>>60753180
Its big in the sense that this is the first push into crypto by retailers. Not walmarts vechain partnership or jp morgans onyx chain.

Its real customers paying for real world items using internet funny money.

Sheeeeeeeeetz

>the first push into crypto by retailers
wtf are you talking about there's been dozens of these types of announcements in the last decade, even this sheetz company started accepting bitcoin last year. every single time it's a complete nothingburger, nobody is going out of their way to learn how to use crypto to buy stuff when they can use fiat instead.

>>60755104
And most if not all of them retraced back into only using fiat. Now that crypto is becoming more mature, i dont see them making another U turn again.

I get what you mean, but until walmart puts a pay in LTC/BTC in the check out lane i consider this to be the actual first use case scenario for customers.

But in all honesty. Cake wallet allows you to purchase visa gift cards with monero.

>>60752551
More or less they will instantly arbitrage most of their litecoin during the purchase back into fiat directly. This doesnt mean that they will own any litecoin but this is a great step forward.

>sheetz partnered with flexa
>flexa partnered with chainlink 4 years ago

This is realistically how companies are going to seemlessly exchange crypto back into USDC/USDT without relying on a centralized exchange like coinbase or binance.

WTF Wawa bros, our response?

>Flexa

Amp bros.... are we fucking back?

>>60755159
Amp is a solid platform that really pioneered how retail customers can pay with crypto directly. Albeit it requires a proprietary coin like AMP.

>nobody is going out of their way to learn how to use crypto to buy stuff when they can use fiat instead.
you underestimate how many people would care about "50% off your purchase"

kek why the fuck are they giving a 50% discount? did the foundation pay them or something

>>60752361 (OP)
>buy something with crypto
>have to fill out complicated irs forms and pay capital gains tax and risk being audited
most people will just keep using fiat because it's less hassle to buy stuff

>>60752361 (OP)
>could the 50% be abused by purchasing stuff with high liquidity, e.g Spotify gift cards, sell immediately for original price, repeat.

Why are these rebranded truckstops popping up everywhere around me? I never heard of caseys, sheetz, and a couple more 5 years ago but there are about 20 of them within 15 miles of me. I went to caseys once to check it out and everything was more expensive than the speedway across the street so i never went again

>>60756849
Buy the entire propane stock and sell it in the road

>>60756882
Casey's is expensive, but their pizza is based.

>>60756882
When I drove through Nebraska and Iowa, I was told to try Casey's and Runza. Runza sucked but Casey's was good stuff

When can I buy Litecoin with my 401k?

>>60752361 (OP)
Strange, I read that Sheeeitz is allowing BITCOIN to be used for payment. Nothing mentioned shitcoins, but if they're going through PayPal maybe they take three or four others.

>>60752558
Why would anyone be disillusioned by Bitcoin? TDS faggots?

>>60756830
Apparently it's a promotion through a third-party payment processor that accepts Bitcoin and maybe some other shitcoins.

The third-party payment processor is doing 50% off for up to $15 in purchases (so, not half off if you buy thousands of dollars worth of stuff) and limits it to a few separate purchases (so that people can't keep going back for lots of small purchases). Sounds like the third-party payment processor is doing this to try to get people to use their app, and is willing to waste up to $75 per customer that they onboard.

>>60759054 again
Found it, it's a payment processor called "Flexa".

ah that makes sense

Sheetz>Wawa, the doubters have even more proofs.

>>60759046
bitcoin doesn't have scalable self-custody, and the security budget hinges on either the price at least doubling every for years or the fees being permanently high. some people don't like that
