My Experience using Bitcoin for a Real Purchase

P.S.

Whole Foods is asstastically expensive. Don't shop there. You'd get more bang for your bit at a local grocer.

We've been shopping at Whole Foods for over 7 years. It's a good place and you can find good deals on some items, but for most of the items, they are higher than other retailers and if they are exactly the same product we usually buy them at Costco or Sprouts or even Target.

For meat, chicken, fish, or produce, we try our best to only buy from Whole Foods.

"They found that Whole Foods is about 15% more expensive than other "conventional" supermarkets, such as Kroger, Wegmans, and Safeway.
Analysts also compared Whole Foods' prices to those at "specialty" grocers, including Trader Joe's and Sprouts Farmers Market, and found that Whole Foods was about 19% more expensive.

Whole Foods charges the biggest premium over its competitors in the meat department, where prices are roughly 40% more expensive than those at rival supermarkets."

But who cares, we are paying with bitcoin and that goes to the Moon so we can still afford WF in the future!

I like Dollar Tree's meats.
You can get (imported from Bangladesh)....a frozen rib-eye for $1.
And that $1 hamburger in a tube.... man it don't get no better than that when you slap on some of their $1 Velveeta knockoff "cheese-food".
You're eatin' large.

hate to say I told ya so,,,,, but I did,,, I said this would be the exact demise of the Crypto Crap,, the Federal US Government has be positioning for this for awhile,, very similar to the way they shut down online poker in US,,, their claim is that Crypto's are a way to launder money and/or pay for or be paid for illegal activity...

So a Slim-Jim covered in Cheez-Whiz. I bet if some crazy unconventional-type were to market that as the main dish at an up-scale bistro, with some snappy name like "Imported beef with classic cheese accompaniment", it would be the latest trendy dish.

Beef lips covered in pasteurized, processed cheese-food product...Breakfast of champions!

Edit: Sorry, I am in America..."Would you like fries with that"?

Okay. And I can open my wallet and give somebody a Visa card. Whereas it took you about 1,000 words to explain your bitcoin transaction.

What am I missing here?

Good question.Even though a Visa credit card could be the most risky to financial goals; Visa debit@ its worse limits losses. Bitcon has gone from $00.32 to $32 to $2.00, to $1,2oo+, to 50% loss . Thats a matter of public record.

But even its critics have to admit that kind of vol does not matter if gambling or tipping LOL.One Bernie Maddof investor made money, he got out early. Happy July 4th, late . I'm not saying any makes money with bitcon, simply saying its late, measuring from from 4th of July
