So great to read that about being able to pay for something with Hive, but it also makes me a little sad that I can't see it happening soon in so called "first world" countries. The value of Hive means that most people aren't interested, so it's not worth their effort. As an example, for me to do a diving course here in Australia, it would currently equate to 3200 Hive, assuming I could find something local. Then they'd likely add extra for exchange fees. That's a big chunk of what I have in my account. It just wouldn't go far here at all.
Perhaps it's currently more of a transfer of wealth to countries with lower costs of living, at the moment. It will take time.
I get you. It probably didn't happen to me @scubahead is not a Hiver. We need to have more exposure and then business will have their interest fixated on Hive. Or else, use cases like this would be few and sporadic.
