    Ironically I think the best application of Bitcoin right now is ransomware, bringing the tragedy of its existence close to the US military's.

  > Better question - why not? Because crypto payments are niche and likely come with more hassle (e.g. volatile value, lender needs dollars and has to take on any risk with liquidating bitcoin/other cryptocurrencies). You might as well ask why US mortgage lenders don't accept payments in RMB or Euros.

    Also, the potential for attracting Congressional attention.

    Why do you care if this company wants to take on the hassle of converting the bitcoin to $ for the customer? It's an additional source of revenue for them.

      Because it's a valid answer as to why would a business not choose to do this?

        > Because it's a valid answer as to why would a business not choose to do this? Exactly. >> It's an additional source of revenue for them. Not all revenue is good though. If I spend $1,000,000 to get $5,000 in extra revenue, it would be a pretty bad business decision. A lot of crypto is hype, and I'm not sure there's much actual real revenue in supporting it for anything besides speculation.
