While for libertarians this isn’t really about the value of the coin so much as the principles and morals it’s representing: Freedom, control, and privacy. The later of which Bitcoin isn’t, but unlike fiat currencies (government money and the associated systems of banking, money transmission, etc) does retain a pseudonymous property in that a user does not need register their identity to merely utilize it or conduct business.
Pizza doesn’t get fresher than Little Zoe’s, now available for bitcoin!
As is the tradition in Keene, NH we gathered at Little Zoe’s to order our delicious personalized pizzas. Afterward people paid for said pizzas with everything from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to Goldbacks. We had a few new faces and plenty of old ones. At least one of our now long time regulars apparently wasn’t able to make it. In her 70s she’s smartly cautious and unfortunately the rain appears to have gotten in her way of making it to Keene. But the rain didn’t stop the party. We gathered in our cars and took our pizzas back to one of the Shire Free Church’s properties that was graciously provided for our event at the last minute.
