    Buying a product is actually rather easy. You’re just presented with an address and an amount and you can copy and paste that address and amount into your wallet and click send. You are also presented with a QR code where you can scan it and a lot of websites even present a open with wallet button that you click and it will auto fill in the address and amount necessary.

      You’re ignoring the fact that you have to:

      • get a wallet
      • make sure your wallet is secure
      • fund the wallet from a trusted source
      • back up your wallet

      Crypto is many things, but it isn’t exactly as friendly as a credit card provided by your bank. Or PayPal, for that matter.
