There’s another layer to this, too. When someone pays me in Bitcoin, I know they’ve had to work for it. Whether they mined it, earned it, or bought it with their hard-earned cash, they’ve chosen to use it here. That trust, that gesture—it means a lot. It genuinely makes me want to cook even better food, create better feasts, and draw more people into this idea of value-for-value exchange.

It’s not just about dinner. It’s about building something resilient, sustainable, and joyful.

So, yes—some people do spend their Bitcoin. And they’re not mad. They’re playing the long game.
