So if Starbucks and McDonalds accepts crypto in El Salvador, why not in the USA, UK
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>The title pretty much sums up my question. What’s holding big companies like Starbucks and McDonalds from accepting crypto in other countries like the USA, UK and rest of the world?</p> <p>Is this a local government thing?
