Thanks for stopping in @whatsup! I hope I didn't steal the premise of your post at all! I look forward to reading it!

Yeah, whenever I think of using Steem to buy a t-shirt or whatever, I recall the famous Bitcoin for pizza story. How would I feel 8 years from now if I spent $20 steem on a t-shirt and in 8 years that Steem would have been worth thousands.

Of course, without the first Bitcoin purchase, there was no proof of value I suppose. Without that pizza, maybe the rest of us never hear about Bitcoin.
