This morning the woman in front of me tried to pay for her cappuccino with Bitcoin. The cashier blinked like she’d just asked to pay in seashells.
This is crypto’s paradox: visionary in theory, awkward in practice. Right now, BTC is less a currency and more digital gold. You don’t buy coffee with gold; you hoard it, flex it, or leverage it.
So yes, pay with your Visa today. But don’t laugh off that woman — she’s just early to a future where your daily caffeine hit might come with a blockchain receipt.
☕💸 Side note: if Starbucks ever accepts Bitcoin natively, expect the memes to hit harder than caffeine.
