I recently tried buying a something online with a credit card, and the transaction was declined due to a fraud alert. I happened to have a few bucks worth of BitCoin, and the merchant accept BitCoin, so I used BitCoin to make the purchase. Making the purchase felt like cash, and it felt oddly satisfying.

For some purchases, there is MasterCard. For everything else, there's BitCoin.
