Buy now, pay later . . . for a burrito?

In 2010, a programmer who was mining bitcoin famously made the comically expensive mistake of spending 10,000 bitcoin on two pizzas. As of this writing, those coins would be worth $850 million dollars.

While there are few comparisons to that kind of miscalculation, the prospect of adding interest payments to fast-food orders is raising concerns nonetheless. Stemming from a partnership announced earlier this week between DoorDash and Klarna, customers can now buy a burrito or McDonalds order and pay for it later across four interest-free payments.

I read a story about a guy who payed 10 bitcoins for a pizza.  Later he was quoted saying, if he went back in time he would do it again.  "It was a damn good pizza."
