A few people have asked to pay me in crypto for Magic cards, but so far I've either declined or asked a friend to accept the crypto for me and send me the money in USD. Nor have I ever used it for any other practical purpose. The most likely reasons this would change are:
Significantly more people start wanting to pay me for things in crypto.
Significantly more people start requirement payment for their items in crypto.
It becomes significantly easier to set up crypto wallets (or accounts on an exchange) and make transactions.

I think this is pretty trivial to do? Coinbase is super user friendly to setup (although maybe the bank-linking or KYC takes some time?) or you can download a random mutli-coin wallet like Atomic Wallet to start receiving transfers immediately.
@jonsimon How easy? So far it hasn't been easy for me to want to bother with it. I tried to sign up for some exchange a while back, and they required a bunch of legal documentation to prove my identity. I may have registered successfully or I may have given up, I don't remember.
@IsaacKing standard kyc procedure will ask for a photos of your driver's license and any bill that has your address on it. Takes 2 minutes if you have the documents
