Real world crypto use! I bought Starbucks with Ethereum!

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So crypto for the last few years has been something I dump hard earned cash into and watch it explode, not take profits, and watch it crash in burn.</p> <p>However my plan during the bear hasn’t changed, DCA, stick to a tight budget and HODL.</p> <p>Until today, I’m out of cash until Friday but I’m having a real hankering for Starbucks coffee and a double smoked bacon sandwich. </p> <p>So I have no cash and a ton of crypto, I try to figure a way to actually use crypto to achieve my goal of caffeine and food.</p> <p>I go to google and find that Starbucks takes PayPal! Load up my PayPal account and update my profile for proper KYC, find that I can send crypto to my account and sell it!</p> <p>So I send 40.00 of Ethereum over for .42 transaction fee, BOOM within 1 minute it shows up in my account. I sell the Ethereum minus the 2.99 transaction fee. Now I have 37.00 in my PayPal.</p> <p>I then go to my Starbucks App and load 35.00 onto my Starbucks card and I’m done!</p> <p>Anyways it’s my first time actually using crypto. Now I’m currently down 35% on my Ethereum investment so I actually paid 54.00 for that 40.00 of Ethereum I used then minus the .42 transaction fee and the 2.99 PayPal fee.</p> <p>This Starbucks purchase actually cost me 57.41 but I will be harvesting the loss on my taxes for 2022!</p> <p>Now, off to get my coffee!</p> <p>Update: the coffee was great but they were out of the double smoked bacon sandwich so I got egg bites. </p> <p>Also PayPal had an offer that they give me 7.00 just for using my PayPal balance at any store! Heck yeah.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Omega3568"> /u/Omega3568 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/yii9nf/real_world_crypto_use_i_bought_starbucks_with/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/yii9nf/real_world_crypto_use_i_bought_starbucks_with/">[comments]</a></span>
