Recently, PayPal and Venmo (they are the same company) have allowed the buying, holding, and selling of crypto currencies to account holders, including the ability to make online purchases of goods and services with cryptos. The service is available in 49 states and US territories.

"What Cryptocurrencies does PayPal support?
Customers in the U.S. (except Hawaii) can buy, sell, hold, and pay at checkout with 4 different Cryptocurrencies on PayPal: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash.
Will this be available globally? When are you planning on launching internationally?
Currently, buying, selling, holding, and checkout with Crypto on PayPal is available in the U.S. (excluding Hawaii) and U.S. territories. All trades must be executed in USD."
This is why we can't have nice things. Generally, tourist destinations make it as easy as possible for tourists to leave money at the destination. Hawaii prefers to establish barriers. And to think I thought that this was the year I'd be paying for my Honolulu rail fare in cryptos!
