HAPPY PIZZA DAY (May 22)! ๐Ÿ•

I bought a delicious pizza with 0.11 XMR ($14.91) to celebrate this day. For that, I used a Cake Pay gift card, which uses a BTCPay implementation.

While I spent 0.145 XMR ($19.88, or R$100) on the gift card, the Pizza Hut cost me R$74.90 (~0.11 XMR). Thus, I have some available funds left for other stuff.

The gift card purchasing experience took approximately 10 minutes. It was the first time I used Cake Pay, and it was a great experience overall. Really smooth and cost-efficient. I definitely recommend trying it.

My initial plan was to use Trocador (who talked to Cake to enable iFood on my request, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!), however, as a new implementation, the gift card wasn't available there yet.

I promise I'll try your services next and share it in appreciation.

It is completely irrational for major corporations to not accept crypto directly in this day and age.

It only makes sense once you realize they are controlled by a bigger power that has a vested interest in people being forced to use only one currency, the one they can manipulate without any oversight.
