>which still seems insane to me given that you probably can't even use it to buy lunch. At the risk of being branded a "Bitcoin zealot from Reddit", I'd like to point out that although this may be locally true for any given reader since it's obviously dependent on where they live (which is also true of being able to buy lunch with US dollars by the way), it's certainly either ignorant or intellectually dishonest. You can buy anything under $500 on aliexpress or amazon here[1], and that's only one of about half a dozen or so different websites I have bookmarked that accept various cryptocurrencies, operating either as currency conversion services or selling directly. The implication that you cannot spend bitcoin on real goods is not correct. If you don't live in mexico, it's much easier to spend $10 of bitcoin than $10 of pesos.
