I've got a dilemma. I'm a Bitcoin Cash believer. I believe in the whole shebang. I am enamored. I love the speed. I love the fact that it's transaction fees aren't high. I like green as a color. I like that I could buy a pizza with it if I do so choose. There's like 14 pizzerias within about 15-20 minutes of my home that accept BCH as a form of payment. And yet, therein lies the rub, I don't have enough. BCH that is.
Now, mind you I do. I've got a little pile that hovers between about $120 and $150 depending on the whims of the market. So, feasibly I could order a few pizzas. I could literally have a "BCH Pizza Party". But, then what? I'd have pizza and no more BCH. I'd ever so slowly accumulate more through faucet games, Noise.cash and Read.cash, but it'd take me well over another month to get back to the point where I could afford another pizza party. What happens in between? Do I succumb to the fear of missing out and start exchanging my relatively diverse portfolio into just BCH? And, then perhaps my rampant anxiety does a 180° turn, and I fear I may miss out on another Crypto potentially mooning. So, then I make poor decisions and lose more of my investment, and I fall deeper into a black hole of poorly made Crypto decisions.
All because I want to use my BCH to buy a pizza. I want to demonstrate a real world use for a badass Cryptocurrency. Honestly, that'd just be super cool. I mean, I could just walk into a pizza shop, order a mushroom and sausage with extra cheese, and when the cashier says, "cash or card?", I'd get to say, " Cash. Bitcoin Cash" as I proudly hold my head high, puff out my chest and for a moment make anyone else standing in line waiting to order wonder who this interesting fellow is paying with some form of magical internet money.
Now I can put some more t-shirt money into my account at the end of the month. I would do that either way. But, I'll be "behind". I'd feel like I'm playing more catch-up. All because of my desire to be the cool Crypto kid and enjoy a slice of of pizza paid for in Crypto.
So I suppose the real question is... When is enough enough? When should I treat myself to Bitcoin Cash pizza? Should I at all?
See? The struggle is real. I'm sure that some of you have real world problems that my pizza problem pales in comparison to. But, here and now, this is my struggle. Tomorrow may bring real trials and tribulations...but right now, it's simple: should I spend some BCH on a pizza or not!
Peace (and BCH) to you all.
If buying a box of pizza is not going to put a serious dent on your BCH pile, and it is possible to purchase it using bitcoin cash, why deprive yourself? If anything, it will only prove to the world still unaware of crypto as functional currency, that it can be spent just like fiat.
