Image it: You stroll into Satriale’s Pork Retailer. Smells like cured meat, damaged goals, and possibly a bit little bit of final night time’s cigar smoke. You’re craving gabagool — capicola for the uninitiated. Skinny slices of salty, spicy, piggy perfection. You level to the deli counter.
“Gimme 1 / 4 kilo of the great things.”
“That’ll be $23.50,” the butcher says.
You nod. You understand it’s price it. However then the man behind you says, “I’ll pay in Bitcoin.”
And similar to that, the deli turns into Wall Road.
