My electric bill was overdue. My online fiat banking, I'm still tied in ways I submit to and keep barely enough in for 'ease of use' in that system, has been down for a day and a half. I can't even check the balance to see what I could pay.

I conducted a test and begrudgingly spent some sats on a virtual visa card. It apparently worked and the electric bill was paid.

One time I took my son to Applebees and forgot my wallet. My phone at the time didn't support NFC, I think, so no GooglePay. Now it is GrapheneOS, so also no GooglePay. But I was able to buy an Applebees gift card with bitcoin, and pay for our meal. Wasn't easy at the time, amd took some creativity, but still felt a little like a superpower that I could show off in front of my kid.

It might not be perfectly seamless yet, or maybe even in the near future, but it still blows my mind all the ways I can tap into using it outside of just on network.
