Acceptance of bitcoin continues to increase, but has a store seen sustained usage? I recall a chart from a few weeks ago after newegg(?) began accepting bitcoins an initial glut of bitcoin transactions quickly dwindled to background noise. It seems once the novelty wears away people find it easier to just pay directly in USD.
- chc 12y agoAlternate theory: Bitcoin owners are disproportionately likely to be speculators who have no interest in ever spending Bitcoins except maybe once as a novelty.
- rockyleal 12y agoI have owned for a long time. This is not a good time to spend, that is all. The price seems to be artificially depressed right now, especially considering all the big companies starting to accept it. In a few months I will use them way more.
- johmas 12y agoWe added a btc option at Tuft & Needle last November and up until about Feb was about 5% of our sales. btc purchases have been steadily dropping and are now around .01%
- aianus 12y agoDo you offer a discount for people paying in BTC? If not, why not?
- doctorfoo 12y agoI pay my monthly VPN subscription with BTC, and will continue to do so. That's not a store and certainly a niche, mind.
