People who say you can't use BTC in real life are ignorant

So I'm fully invested in BTC and have believed for a while that it's main use is as a store of value specially against inflation.

However I had a weird thing happen today as I couldn't buy from an online store (CBD) I've purchased before with my regular visa/Mastercard cards, yet saw the store accepted BTC.

Decided to try it out and it worked no problem. It's amazing that with it's vast global network MC could not approve the payment (credit was more than fine) yet BTC network had absolutely no problem.

I almost immediately bought some more tasty dips of BTC mind you, but it's quite a simple proof that it's not just a sore of value, or a hedge against inflation, or a way to transfer value internationally. It's good for all of that and more.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
