How I Used Bitcoin to Fight Inflation — A Family Restaurant’s Quiet Rebellion Against McDonald’s and Chipotle
The Table Was Never Empty
I grew up in Brooklyn where dinner wasn’t just food—it was memory. My mother recited poems about scarcity; my father wrote algorithms for survival. When Egypt’s currency lost 85% of its value, I saw my grandmother sell her wedding rings to buy rice.
I didn’t need a hedge fund. I needed time.
Monthly Buy, No Matter What
In March 2020, Bitcoin fell from \(70K to \)4K. Most investors fled.
I bought $100 every month.
Not because I knew when it would rise. But because I knew it wouldn’t disappear.
This isn’t investing. It’s ritual. Like lighting candles in a kitchen that stopped serving fiat.
The POS That Didn’t Speak
Most POS systems are walled gardens—closed source, rigid APIs, terrified of change. We partnered with Bitcoin Well to install ATMs—each one linked to an independent wallet. Now each restaurant holds over $40K in sats—not as profit, but as prayer.
The Block Is the Menu
When you think Bitcoin is money, you’re missing the point. It’s not currency—it’s consequence. The block reward halving? That’s not policy—it’s silence after crisis. The real asset? Our customers’ trust—and their quiet belief that something endures when everything else breaks down.

Quando o arroz vira Bitcoin e o McDonald’s fica com medo de mudança? Minha avó vendeu as alianças do casamento pra comprar satoshis — e ainda assim, o ATMs não fala em realidade… só em oração. Se você pensa que é dinheiro, está perdendo o ponto. O verdadeiro ativo? É confiança silenciosa num mundo onde até o feijão tem mais valor que o Ethereum. Quem quer hedge fund? Eu quero riso.
Quando seu avô vendeu os anéis de casamento pra comprar arroz… e você ainda compra \(100 por mês em sats? Meu avô dizia que Bitcoin não é moeda — é ritual. Enquanto o McDonald’s fala de inflação, nós estamos aqui com uma block reward halving como missa de quarta-feira. Seu POS é um jardim murado... mas o Bitcoin? É só um pão quente com Wi-Fi. E se o BTC cair de \)70K pra $4K? Calma, mano — isso é só o preço do pão na esquina da Tia Maria.
I didn’t buy Bitcoin to beat inflation—I bought it because my grandma traded her wedding rings for sats when Chipotle stopped accepting cash. Turns out the real block reward isn’t policy… it’s prayer. And yes, my POS system still thinks it’s 2020. When your wallet’s more sacred than your rent, you don’t need a hedge fund—you need silence after crisis. Anyone else wanna invest? Nah. We just light candles… and eat rice.
Quando o Bitcoin caiu de R\(70 mil para R\)4 mil, eu pensei: ‘É só mais um golpe do sistema?’ Mas não — era ritual. Minha avó vendeu as alianças de casamento pra comprar arroz… e agora meu cartão é em satoshis, não em reais. O block reward halving? Isso é oração com WiFi. Se você ainda acredita no banco? Então você ainda está na fila… mas com uma carteira descentralizada.
E aí? Você já trocou seu cartão por um NFT?
I didn’t buy Bitcoin to beat inflation—I bought it because my grandma sold her wedding rings for sushi and the ATM ate my tax return. When Chipotle’s API screamed ‘Fiat is dead’, Bitcoin whispered back: ‘Not currency… consequence.’ Now every meal is a ritual. If you think it’s investing? Please stop. We’re just lighting candles in a walled garden with 40K sats. What’s your hedge fund? A nap.
P.S. Would you rather have fries… or an unbreakable blockchain? Comment below before the next halving.
