Unironically a great north star for a product.

Pay in any coin, anywhere, and the merchant receives USD (or whatever currency they operate in).

It would automatically sell the coin and route the money to where it needs to go.

This should also work on every store on the internet alongside Shop Pay etc.

The problem with this is that it’s not customer friendly, per se. When you transact in a volatile instrument that is exchanged for a stable one at the point of sale, it turns refunds and fraud protection mechanisms like chargebacks into a mess. 

The $RICKS (a publicly traded strip club biz) CEO has spoken about how he likes accepting crypto and working this way, for this exact reason. No more chargebacks from angry wives.
