This is so absurd it&#x27;s basically trolling. I&#x27;d be willing to bet the author hasn&#x27;t actually used bitcoin to buy something.<p>It actually works extremely well. Anything I can buy with btc instead of a credit card I do, it&#x27;s so fluid and easy it&#x27;s amazing.

BitPay != Bitcoin, in the same way that every single bank in this list [1] != fiat currency.<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fdic.gov&#x2F;bank&#x2F;individual&#x2F;failed&#x2F;banklist.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fdic.gov&#x2F;bank&#x2F;individual&#x2F;failed&#x2F;banklist.html</a>
