Because they give discounts up to 15%.
I'm sorry it doesn't fit your narrative but there are reasons to prefer cryptocurrencies.
- briatx 8y agoLike a lot of the crypto currency space purse.io is shady and likely promoting thinly veiled money laundering. Ask yourself if the discount is worth the risk of experiences like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4zczow/my_experience_with_purseio/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4zczow/my_experien...
- hudon 8y ago15% sounds about right to offset the fraud risk, volatility risk, exchange fees, network fees, network congestion, transfer delays, fork risk, catastrophic bugs, and theft risk :) We all have narratives, buddy. Mine just doesn't hinge on gambling and crypto-anarchic utopia.

- pjc50 8y agoWhy are they giving such a big discount? The transaction fees are nowhere near that high. Could it be that they're reselling fraudulent giftcards?
