The transaction fee is not paid by the consumer (directly), and lord knows sellers are not going to lower prices based on payment method.

    Mullvad actually does this for their VPN service, which I think is great. For a VPN company that doesn't want to store identifiers about you, taking crypto makes sense because that also doesn't necessarily have identifiers about you attached that they could read or be required to store, unlike a card that requires your name, address, and card number.

    Other than that though, no larger companies are going to do anything of the sort, let alone be likely to even implement it as a payment method to begin with. Tons of additional technical complexity for little to no benefit.
