I agree with this. Two points though: 1. PR value does benefit your bottom line 2. Almost all serious web proxies accept Bitcoin. I believe they do this more for product reasons than PR reasons. Which is to say your answer could be put more simply as "I don't think my customers would value my accepting Bitcoin as much as other features I could be adding."

Bitcoin is a 'huge' thing in tech circles, but outside of that it's still tiny and since implementing bitcoin is non-trivial (especially from an administrative point of view) it's my time that I'm worried about, not what my customers would value (they've very likely heard about bitcoin but do not have any). I get an infinite amount more email about implementing paypal (3 per year) than about implementing bitcoin (0). So I'd be wasting my time. As for PR value, I'd rather get that from unique content or a the quality of the service than from promoting still relatively obscure payment methods because the press is 'hot' on anything bitcoin. Besides, when Apple or Amazon do it it is noteworthy, when camarades.com does it nobody will care.
