T[2016-01-04] roy Wolverton: Bitcoin hard to spend in Silicon Valley mall

[sirohige]

This holiday shopping season, I found myself in a peculiar situation.

I was at the mall. I was ready to shop for presents. But I couldn’t find anyone who would take my money.

Heck, when I asked if I could pay with it, many looked at me as if I was from Mars!

To be fair, I wasn’t offering to pay in dollars. I wasn’t trying to use my credit card or even Apple Pay. Instead, I was trying to spend some bitcoin.
