Last night, half-heartedly, I made a post commenting on the hoopla surrounding the meteoric rise of the Bitcoin. It was off the cuff, because a lot of the comments I was reading were of the opinion that Bitcoin was a toy. That the current exchange rate, was over inflated, and that somehow it's vale wasn't real.





I made a simple analogy and challenge. 1 BTC would pay for sack lunches for 40 homeless people in Pensacola, FL. I would gladly make the value of Bitcoin, very real, and very tangible. If someone was gracious enough to donate 1 BTC we would turn it into the feeding of 40 other humans.





Well, we didn't feed 40 people with 1 Bitcoin...we fed 43.





Overnight, we were humbled by the donation of 6 BTC.





We sold these 6 locally (surprisingly easily) for a strike price of $54 each.





Net income, $324. That's 259.2 Meals, here in the real world.





Fun fact, In the time between posting and cashing out BTC increased, 3 meals worth per unit.
