I've been hearing about bitcoin for 15+ years and I don't think I've ever walked into a shop where they accepted it.
So, approximately six 0s of uptime for my use case?

I didn't say bitcoin. I said blockchains that use USDC.

No-one cares if 1 person (out of 8 billion and trillions of bots) won't use it. It exists and Shopify and Stripe have crypto payments with USDC which is useful for both humans and agents.
the point was about physical flesh-to-flesh shopping experiences.
If they have a POS Terminal at their physical brick and mortar store powered by Shopify, they can do just that [0] and it accepts crypto payments.
The same for Stripe Terminal which allows contactless payments with stablecoins such as USDC [0] for physical stores. They can accept crypto from there and Stripe handles the transaction seamlessly.

Like can you pay with crypto at a Stripe POS when the infrastructure goes down? Or was this just completely irrelevant?
which makes sense, you'd either end up paying in pegged, virtual crypto dollars, or pay with a completely separate crypto currency which then means that the shoes you bought a month ago are suddenly worth a magnitude more or less. might as well pay in turkish lira.

Revolut, for example, has confirmed all its operations, that include, sign-ups, sign-ins, payments and transfers, top-ups, ATM withdrawals, stock trades, cryptocurrency, are all down.
For example, Phantom Wallet, MetaMask and Robinhood Wallet doesn't need a bank to make payments and send money anywhere.
