This is a big step forward

Yes , huge step. People are going to rush to the theaters buying FF9 tickets with .00003 Btc

What crazy news!

Seeing how there are visa cards that have crypto on them and not regular valute, your sarcasm is actually true.
Few guys im close to that live of crypto, pay everything in crypto, from groceries to a car. by taking btc and eventually other cryptos directly, thats gonna be even simpler and more common

As a consumer, why am I using crypto over your typical visa for routine transactions like this?

Seriously

Cos perhaps youre person that doesnt use typical visa or typical valute. There's many of those.
And there will only be more with time

Why wouldn't you use one? It's free and you actually get a return for using it. I get free flights every year and I haven't paid one penny in interest my entire life.

I put everything on visa from grocers to atv purchases. Pay it off everytime. Why would I use something that gives me zero return like btc when I use it vs just investing in btc.

BTC is not a currency and people need to stop thinking of it as one. It's best to think of it as a digital store of value kind of like gold. AMC's doing this for publicity more than anything.

Exactly that's why I don't understand why I wouldn't want to invest or hold it vs spending it like op is suggesting is a good thing.

You gotta understand theres tons of people that dont have daily jobs but only do crypto tradings, and accepting them directly as a way of payment is great for them. With time, crypto will be even more common than it is right now which will bring more traders to the market.
In europe, some banks wont even open a bank acc for you unless you bring a proof of employment. There are no bonuses but instesd you pay x cents per transaction via visa, and u pay X euro monthly for having an account. There are no long term benefits for 99% of ppl.
With binance visa you can spend traded crypto and stake rest od it through app that u wont use or trade it another day.

It might not be widely used compared to visa, but seeing how amazon starts taking btc, more smaller yet big companies such as amc are just gonna follow up and pump btc price
