The only difference was that instead of handing over a tenner or your VISA card, you have to stop sexting or Instagramming the crisps or whatever, and scan a QR code using the Bitcoin wallet app on your smartphone. Yup, not only has Stephen Early found a good use for Bitcoin, he has also managed to do the same for QR codes — formerly a technology with literally no practical applications whatsoever. I can’t be bothered googling who is in charge of the UK’s digital infrastructure but whoever it is, they need to snap this guy up and give him the keys.”
