There have been a ton of innovations in the crypto industry that has made life simpler and added value to the lives of many. Crypto breaks down barriers and allows individuals spread across the world to access different forms of a global network of opportunities.
Crypto and blockchain technology has seeped into various industries, thereby introducing a more transparent approach to handling those businesses. Remittances, in particular, is an area where the crypto industry has made decent strides.
Tourism and fancy stuff
For example, many Caribbean countries like St Kitts and Nevis and many others have embraced crypto into their banking system. In others, crypto can be used directly for making payments.
It is expected that most countries that are heavily reliant on tourism for generating revenue will also be heavily reliant on crypto in the coming years. The National news cited how crypto and blockchain could dramatically reduce the cost of remittances.
Using blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the remittance industry could lower costs for exchanges houses and make it easier for start-ups to enter the market, increasing competition and resulting in lower fees for consumers in the UAE.
Looking at it on the surface, crypto and tourism are a match made in heaven, especially from the remittance point of view. According to Outlook India crypto will satisfy the cravings of many travel enthusiasts.
The travel and tourism industry stands to benefit the most from this growing class of investors who want to fulfil their travelling desires with highly personalized services enabled through the use of popular cryptocurrencies as legal tender.
This view is further bolstered by activities of projects like Travala that is creating multiple ways to directly spend your crypto on a variety of travel-based products. These products include flight booking, hotel booking, NFTs with perks, and various activities in different locations.
What about normal stuff?
Different countries face their unique remittance issues. Put in a different way, each individual has their own unique remittance issue that needs fixing and cryptocurrencies offer a sweeping solution to the entire lot.
In Nigeria, our remittance system is pretty simple with banks but it often experiences network issues and sometimes a failed transaction could still deduct funds from your account. When that happens, you have to spend an eternity in the banking hall or on the phone, trying to sort it out.
Assuming there was a way to make payments for everyday stuff directly with crypto, we'd have a better and faster means of transferring funds between people. Transactions are transparent and whenever there's a transactional breakdown, anybody in the world can see it.
On the flip side, you might want privacy and projects like ZCash, and Monero, amongst others, will give you the privacy you desire. You'll have the opaque experience of transferring value.
For now, I know people use crypto to make payments for digital products but not so much for the normal everyday stuff. I've heard of some grocery stores that accept crypto but they are few and far.
Most people you see on the road may have heard of cryptocurrencies but they know them as tradable commodities, rather than assets that could be used to price goods and services.
As crypto continues to gain popularity, we'll see more physical businesses accept crypto. Central exchanges have their flaws but no one can deny that they offer useful services, including crypto debit cards that enable crypto holders to make everyday payments.
These crypto cards have the potential to boost crypto adoption by many folds. It is only a matter of time until we'll all be using crypto to make payments in virtually every part of the world.

One day the crypto currency may replace the dollar. But, with more crypto currency projects piling up in blockchain world it seems a never ending race.
Just look at how I have paid for freelance work that you've done in the past.
Paypal and banks won't let us, but crypto is fast and simple.
