Well, unless you actually do live in places like Uvita, where you don't need any fiat. 30% of restaurants accept directly and all rest you can pay via the SINPE integration.

And how many people know what I it’s is? SINPE?
How easy is it overall to use?
Either way, it’s good to know there’s one example. But most people won’t want to spend their store of value, they’ll want to spend something else and borrow from their store of value.
Everyone there knows SINPE. 98% of adult population used it at least once.
The 98% stat may actually not be correct. I found references to 76%, but it really depends on what exactly they count.

76% is significant.
