I hate crypto currency and I love this. It's a way to project all the insanely bad parts of crypto (if you hold it you own it) into the physical world. If general btc/eth transactions are a very very complex version of SWIFT this is the same for paper money. I can buy coke with my bitcoins but I can't do a cool in person coke buy with bitcoins(and/or ETH). Kong solves my problem.

> I can't do a cool in person coke buy with bitcoins

Why not? Each of you can have Bitcoin wallets on your phones. I'm sure coke heads can figure out something to talk about for 10 minutes waiting for 1 confirmation.

The operative word was "cool".
