Just saw this on
Tumblr:
I was fairly surprised to see the reactions:

myresin:
What the hell is that? I’m not even sure I get what they’re talking about on the search I just did.
veryangrymouse:
Bitcoin is pretty much internet libertarian monopoly money.
gtnakawaiidesu:
this is the worst thing I have ever seen
kaolincash:
bitcoins are actually a really good idea because it’s impossiible for bitcoin currency to have inflation, the currency is always worth the same amount and it’s translatable into any other currency, just like any other currency. you can take those .2 bitcoins and convert them into $6.38 as soon as you get tipped if you want, you people need to not damn unfamiliar concepts as soon as you see them
its not the concept of bitcoins that frustrates people here its just the presumptuous attitude of the tipper that is basically forcing the waiter/waitress to use bitcoins just to earn the tip they deserve
dont ever force people into using/doing things that they dont need to use or do

Bitcoins are volatile and difficult to cash out, and even if they tried to buy something directly with the bitcoin (very few options, mostly illegal shit), there’s a good chance they’d be defrauded. I’m familiar with bitcoins, kaolincash - familiar enough to know that you’re full of it.
What’s more, people who have left tips in bitcoins have talked about periodically going through and “sweeping”, essentially revoking the transactions if the worker hasn’t had the time to work through bitcoin’s completely fucking broken system. That’s convenient, isn’t it? You get to Spread the Word and then if they don’t have the time or resources to figure out how to retrieve the money they’ve earned from you, you get to take it back.
Don’t go to restaurants if you’re not going to tip the workers in currency they actually use.

I hope the internet libertarian who pulled this bullshit is never going to eat there again, because antics like this are not forgotten.
