Right now, you don't.
Currently, having watched the whole Mt. Gox fiasco unfold, and having read from at least one HN poster who lost over US$100,000 worth of bitcoins, I wouldn't touch bitcoins with a 100-foot pole. I understand it's safe if [list of conditions which I 80% understand], but that's little consolation to me.
But certainly there is no harm in giving clients the option.
- zacinbusiness 13y agoYeah that gets to the "is it a good idea" portion. Honestly, the fact that there is any faith in Bitcoin is amazing to me. And I believe that it's a resilient currency that will bounce back from the current controversy. But I do fear that it may collapse entirely, especially if governments start getting involved and trying to regulate it when they can scarcely understand traditional money, or even other much more simple concepts.
