Monero has utterly failed in merchant adoption. If you go to something like cryptwerk, which is what getmonero themselves recommends as a vendor list, It has about 1/2 the vendors of even the roughly same market cap coin Litecoin.

		Well that's because it's illegal in most countries, and the reason it's illegal are the same reasons it's a good currency. States can't tolerate competition. Still a global blockchain though with the associated throughput limits. You can't buy cereal with monero because you do that too often.
