Bitcoin has just done something fiat couldn’t for our team

I have a dev team spreading across Europe and the USA. We wanted to have an online team lunch so to enable self service, I promised to buy each team member £20 worth of food delivery voucher.

It was easy enough to buy vouchers for my team here in the UK. However, when it comes to my USA members, there was no way to pay for a voucher in Grubhub. I tried paypal and my payments got “pending” for 4 hours. I tried my Visa/Amex cards and realized the website only allow US based addresses to make this order.

Disgruntled, I went to bitrefill, I know it will be fucking hard for me to expense this back to my company, but hey, I promised my team the vouchers so they will have their vouchers. A few clicks, no registration needed, and one minute later, I got two codes to send to my members in the USA.

I love bitcoin ❤️ The future is here.
