But while on paper it could have worked. The reality is way worse. There was a store next to where I live that until a few years ago advertised that they can be paid with [Bitcoin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin). The notice is now removed, probably due to the [bursting of the crypto bubble](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency_bubble#2021%E2%80%932023_crash), which lead to a rapid decrease of value of many cryptocurrencies.", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y.
