There’s a fair number of places, both legitimate and illegitimate that will accept bitcoin as currency I’m not necessarily sold on it as an investment prospect but blockchain technology is worth understanding.
There’s Ethereum now too. Is that a similar kind of thing?
Don’t answer, I don’t really care.

Makes me laugh that we live in a world where people think paying with bitcoin’s a thing. Had a mate once who insisted you could pay for stuff with Euros in the UK, so to prove a point he tried about five different shops and they all told him to get fucked.
