This Browser Extension Converts Everything Into Bitcoin—Here's Why
Opportunity Cost is a browser extension that converts website prices into Bitcoin and Sats, aiming to promote Bitcoin adoption by helping users visualize spending in cryptocurrency. The tool may reduce unnecessary purchases by highlighting the opportunity cost of spending. Launched on Chrome and Brave, with Firefox support coming soon, it generated social media interest among crypto enthusiasts. Created by Marty Bent, the extension serves as a memetic tool to help users conceptualize a future where Bitcoin is the primary currency. Bent argues that Bitcoin is superior to fiat currencies due to inflation, opposing stablecoins tied to the dollar. A future feature will show how product prices in Bitcoin decrease as its value rises, encouraging users to reconsider their spending habits.
