can i ~~offer~~ trade you a nice egg in this trying time?
eggs are about $0.28 right now that's 0.0000024 BTC which is ~ 239 sats + another 200 or so for transaction fees.
I really didn't want to go bitcoin, but it's likely the only reasonable competition we can put up against stuff the size of Visa.
I WAS going to follow-up my "it's always sunny in philadelphia" quote but I got completely distracted by TWENTY-EIGHT CENT EGGS. I can literally buy eggs from the source (there's a farm nearby that "donates" a portion of their income directly to the chickens and puts it into quality of life upgrades for them) and it still costs me $4.50-5.00 a dozen depending on weight.
