> Just the transaction costs alone make it infeasible to use Bitcoin to order pizza.

Blatantly false. Transacting on the Lightning Network (Bitcoin L2) costs next to nothing and the settlement is final and immediate.

Screw pizza, top-of-mind, you can pay a fraction of a cent's worth for an API call with Bitcoin (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28459713)...

or pay 66 satoshis (~$0.03) / hour for a VPS instance (https://www.bitclouds.sh)...

or buy gift cards for any amount (https://www.bitrefill.com/buy/)...

or tip anyone as little as 1 satoshi (~$0.00046) (here's 5 cents worth https://ln.cash/tFVDMpUMRQPYwyj9DZHMqg)...

or hell, if you're feeling like pizza, DM me on Twitter and I'll get you one, paid for in Bitcoin (https://ln.pizza).
