I astounded a Starbucks barista today. I had loaded $10 from CoinForCoffee, but when my check came out to $10.86, I simply paid with the original balance, and immediately added another $5, which showed up in under 30 seconds. I asked her to scan the barcode again, and she couldn't believe it worked.
A lot of people are waiting for Amazon to accept bitcoin, but you can already spend it there with Gyft and get discounts by earning points. With Circle, I can buy bitcoin instantly from my checking account, buy a Gyft card instantly from Circle, and spend it instantly on Amazon. That's pretty great.
