(I'm a Balanced employee)
My personal views are my own and NOT Balanced on this topic. I agree, I think bitcoin is a great solution -- for some things. More and more I feel that it's the right strategy going forward.
We actually have an open github issue to support it: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/204 https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/204. You should take a look and read the comments there -- they're very interesting.
Something I'm trying to figure out though is something along the lines of this comment: https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/204#issuecomment-10731245 https://github.com/balanced/balanced-api/issues/204#issuecom.... How can we tackle on risk in a reasonable way?
Jon Matonis, CEO of Hushmail, wrote a pretty interesting article on Bitcoin for Forbes, where he mentions Balanced: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/11/26/payments-startup-balanced-innovates-in-wrong-direction/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/11/26/payments-s... but he just didn't answer or ask the _right_ questions.
Another reason - there just hasn't been enough demand for it.
