What are we using bitcoin for? Until recently, we looked at bitcoin as chiefly an investment vehicle. However, let’s not forget that this is a crypto-currency, and the ‘currency’ part is used to buy stuff. In 2022, the question “ what can you buy with bitcoin” can be answered with a simple “almost anything.” Indeed, paying for purchases with crypto is becoming more popular and convenient, but let’s unpack a few things, shall we?
