Hey, I’m new to all this 🙂 Just curious… is it really possible to buy something as simple as a coffee with Bitcoin.

Yeah
Hi! Great question 🙌 Yes, you can. Most everyday purchases like coffee are made using the Lightning Network. It's a layer built on top of Bitcoin that makes payments instant, costs almost nothing in fees, and works smoothly between any two wallets. Think of it like how Visa or Mastercard process payments - except here you don't need banks or middlemen. It's just you and the merchant.
You can even use a bitcoin prepaid credit card that seamlessly converts your bitcoin to fiat currency at stores that don’t directly accept bitcoin. This allows you to shop freely in a fiat economy while still HODLing onto your bitcoin.
