Costs of acquisition and spread will decrease as bitcoin adoption rises as it is a competitive market. And then low margin merchants will actively encourage bitcoin usage with discounts.
- sanswork 12y agoWhy would they encourage bitcoin usage with discounts? They want people to use bitcoin to improve margin so why would they turn around and immediately cut into that? Also with cash back on so many cards now the discount would have to be >2%. Probably more like 3-5% for people to switch. The savings from not accepting credit cards won't make up for that.
