I love that my local gas station has one of those Bitcoin vending machine things. You put money in and it puts Bitcoin in your “wallet” (you scan a QR code to the wallet), and, of course, slurps up a fee to do it.

I love it because this gas station, like most gas stations, exclusively sells things that are bad for you and I find it a funny connection. You roll in there and spend money, you are coming out worse. That’s just the deal. So you roll in there with a fresh tenner, you could roughly get:

• A six-pack of beer
• A dozen stale donuts and a 68oz fountain coke
• A pack of smokes
• 0.00046753 BTC
