I can see it now

'how much is a large pepperoni and mushroom?'

'how are you paying sir?'

'I thought I would avail myself of your new bitcoin option'

'well let me check, the price is 1/2000th of a coin, no wait sorry that's 3/100th's no wait its gone back up again now its 1/3000th, hold on its dropping again'


I know that's what I look for in a currency, wild massive swings of 10 to 25% for no appreciable reason and one unit of currency potentially worth tens of thousands of dollars that have to be divided up to buy a pizza
