"BTC Is Not Useful"

I recently took out a very small amount of BTC to pay for a Christmas dinner. It was the very first time that I had used my BitPay card. So I sent 200worthofBitcointotheBitpaycard,andwascharged200 worth of Bitcoin to the Bitpay card, and was charged17 in fees. I'm still very confused about when I can get a Monaco or Tenx or Centra card, but that is another story.

The dinner was absolutely delicious, probably the best meal of the year. However, the Fees put a spoiler on an otherwise very nice evening.

Now, I check out one of Bix's latest videos, and I love his comment. "Bitcoin is not useful." I would have to agree with him. It just really isn't.

Put in terms of scale, I paid 5x in fees that would I would have paid from an ATM in fiat.

In several of my earlier posts, I talk of LTC, VTC, GRS, and even XVG as currencies. (It seems XVG is getting some momentum these days, and perhaps will be the "Silver" to the Monero "Gold".)
