It was? I was sure I paid in BTC for everything. But it's been a while so I might be wrong.
Yes you paid in BTC, but it was priced in dollars.
Paying in dollars was not an option, and last year btc was priced in dollars, as it is today. So that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
We all paid for the whole thing in BTC only. Where you got that BTC to begin with is another story.
