No it's not, that just moves the difficulty from merchant to client. Actually getting bitcoins is not easy, takes a long time, etc. It adds friction, support overhead, risk, latency, for very little pay-off. We're talking about subscriptions here, so the customer would have to send bitcoins every month. He would have to first get bitcoins, then those few days later actually remember wanting to use the service, send the service the coins he paid for a few days back, wait half an hour, again. All that, for those maybe 1 out of 10K leads that would even know what bitcoin is.
