"Buying a coffee" is often used as an example when debating blockchain scalability.Well, today I bought coffee with bitcoin. And, many other days I do too. And each time I use TWO on-chain transactions (one to fund the starbucks card, one to refund the change). And I only pay 3 cents for next-block confirmations, which is far outweighed by the ~$1 I save by paying with bitcoin.To those who say there is a crisis, I don't believe you. Transaction fees remain dirt cheap, hence there is low demand for block space at present. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/1P3eBqX
