Our video journalist put crypto to the ultimate test — by attempting to live on Bitcoin for 14 days in the financial center of the world. Will he succeed?
Bitcoin was created to be the anti-establishment currency of the new digital age. But how effective is it really? We decided to determine the viability of Bitcoin as a currency by challenging our journalist to spend nothing but Bitcoin for 14 consecutive days. Here is his journey.

Mainstream solutions are the worst ! Using Coinbase and Bitpay is just more expensive in every aspect that using a mastercard / visa both for merchant and user ! And they offer the same trouble (KYC, censorship, close system etc), there is no point now to use them…
What a shame to see an onchain transaction that require 24 000 satoshi in fees ! That was roughly 4% fees on the payment that has been made. I've never paid more than 1000 satoshi in fees with a REAL wallet (like Samurai Wallet) when you can set up your sat/byte
Try to paid NOW for the everyday life in Bitcoin is completely silly as it was back in the 1990"s to find merchant that accept to sell stuff online…
Actually Bitcoin is far away to fullfill this kind of usage, it will be done in few years with a 2nd layer as Lightning Network and even with it, I guess for the next 3 or 4 years, it will not be the major usage of the BTC network
It will grow step by step…this stupid video is like "Can my 10 years old kid can drive a car to go on the highway ?" …. the obvious answer = NOT YET
Bitcoin used to have better purchasing power, now since the price is low the nostalgia has disappeared. It’s still to complicated and not user friendly.
Weird, here there all over the place are places accepting bitcoin, and every delivery service
Everytime I buy something…I ask if they take Bitcoin… just to plant the seed 🙂
