Meh. Meanwhile, I gladly pay the credit card transaction fee that is baked into the price of my morning coffee, because if it weren't for the fact that my local pub doesn't do cards, I would literally never carry cash. I don't really follow bitcoin, but it seems to me that this block-size drama is deeply important to anyone involved in the community and utterly unimportant to your average coffee shop owner wondering if they should accept bitcoin....consider this: When I pay two dollars for my morning coffee in cash, I don’t have to pay any amount, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, for the privilege.
