With the rollercoaster that crypto prices are now on, it can be hard to remember the use cases of many coins outside of trying to, well, make money. A bright side that must not be forgotten is the fact that crypto has an increasing amount of presence in the real world. This is making people outside the current community more familiar and hopefully more likely to adopt.

Cryptonews.com brings you a collection of 20 adoption cases, spotted all over the world (and the internet!). Although some may seem small or funny, every one of those plays a role in introducing crypto to the mass audience.

From brick-and-mortar places accepting Bitcoin or other cryptos, to clothes with crypto logos, each of these is a sure step towards being more often recognized and perhaps accepted.

Found in London’s artsy quarter Shoreditch that is usually filled with young creatives and trendsetters, let’s hope they manage to set the trend of paying with crypto.

Whether these leggins are expensive or not depends on your wallet, but if you can’t afford it, it’s just a matter of time before knockoff shops on Wish or Aliexpress start carrying these. However, the ability to pay for them with crypto is a nice touch – and we wouldn’t want them any other way.
