Picture it: You walk into Satriale’s Pork Store. Smells like cured meat, broken dreams, and maybe a little bit of last night’s cigar smoke. You’re craving gabagool — capicola for the uninitiated. Thin slices of salty, spicy, piggy perfection. You point to the deli counter.
“Gimme a quarter kilo of the good stuff.”
“That’ll be $23.50,” the butcher says.
You nod. You know it’s worth it. But then the guy behind you says, “I’ll pay in Bitcoin.”
And just like that, the deli becomes Wall Street.
