I bought a smoothie at Smoothie King in Stonecrest, GA, for $9 USD using my Bitcoin through Bitrefill. This was Bitcoin I had been holding since the spring of 2026.

What’s amazing to me is that I’ve only been holding Bitcoin for a couple of months, and I can already see how it can help preserve my purchasing power.

Let me let you in on a little secret: my average BTC/USD purchase price is $71,450.34 per Bitcoin.

Using that average price to calculate the Bitcoin I spent, that $9 smoothie effectively cost me about $8.59 in today’s dollars based on my average acquisition price.

Now, Bitcoin’s price didn’t move dramatically during the period when I was accumulating it, but it’s still crazy to see how this works in real life. I’m not just watching Bitcoin on a chart—I’m actually using it to buy everyday things.

This is why I see Bitcoin as a potential store of value and a way to preserve purchasing power over time.

I’ve only been holding for a few months, and already I’m seeing the difference in how Bitcoin can function as money. That’s what makes this technology so fascinating to me. ₿
