And you could indeed use Bitcoin on Steam for a while!

But then the blocks got full, fees and wait times skyrocketed, and in response to the customer backlash Steam removed Bitcoin.

Meanwhile Bitcoiners were (and still are) only focused on number go up instead of other, more productive, use cases.

Such a waste.

You can get Pornhub subscription with Bitcoin, but not credit card.

Exactly. It's really a tragedy that crypto becomes a speculator's tool, and the real problem didn't even get solved.
