And everyones been buying the dip and back up we go haha
It’s about time for mass adoption. Hope Amazon is next
That is some great news! Crypto is starting to get adopted everywhere.
This is good. Cryptocurrency is becomin the new norm.
Good way to skirt taxes?
Hopefully they accept a wide variety of crypto. The adoption is nice as well.
This is pretty cool, but it’s important to realise it’s essentially a very streamlined, single use case offramp for crypto. I.e. you send them your crypto, they give you their gift card (fiat fiat?) and you spend it.
It’s not really much different to being able to sell on an exchange, withdraw currency and go the shop with it.
tldr; Rakuten is now allowing crypto users to load up their Rakuten Pay accounts with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ethereum, and bitcoin cash. The company is also offering bonus points to people using the Rakuten Cash-buying function with crypto assets. There is no fee for conversion, but it is necessary to open a physical trading account using the company’s crypto wallet.
