Some of the best real life stories I've ever heard about bitcoin are.
1) Venezuelans using free electricity generated by the caracas dam to mine bitcoin and provide for themselves and their families during a time when venezuela's economy was in poor shape.
2) Cuban immigrants in the USA using bitcoin to send money home to their families in cuba using bitcoin.
3) Bitcoin being mined by sources of environmentally friendly electricity, such as surplus hydroelectric power generated by dams. Which in turn helps to fund the future expansion of renewable sources of energy.
4) Bitcoin being used by the homeless, poor and global (4 billion) unbanked demographics as a means of digital payment.
What about that man who traded his Bitcoins to a box of pizza? To some it is nothing but for sure there's a deeper meaning. What happened in that instance just showed how far this industry have become. Before, people were still in doubt of this technology that they threw their assets when the price was still low because fee people supported this blockchain before. On the instance I've mentioned, the guy was just in deep regret from doing so but in reality, he just chose his comfort and we cannot blame him in the first place. It is always on the investor whether to continue or not so for sure, way back that particular time, the guy who traded his bitcoin to pizza, was hopeless with the development of this industry at the present.
