POS(point of sale) cash back, just like when you use a debit card at the
grocery store and you can get $20-40 cash back, give the purchaser an
option of getting fiat for bitcoin. Most of the time people only need small
(sub $200) amounts of cash, so for exchange to fiat this handles most
real-world cases that aren't speculative.
