 Seems like it took a lot longer than it should? And the commentary was sadly uninspiring - shouldn't be questioning if it went through :( 
 lol yea 😅 But my sarcasm above aside, I think this was significant. It has the potential to suddenly normalize Bitcoin for people who have otherwise only heard of it in negative light (terrorist, money laundering, drug dealers, etc). Here it is being used on national tv by a former President to buy a burger at a local business. New tech (and bitcoin is new for most people) gets some leeway if it doesn’t quite work as smoothly as intended.
