CC serves as verification. Bitcoin has less fees.

So it's like "providing an ID", and then paying. Even if bitcoin is not "anonymous" (pseudonymous), there's still the decentralised+cheap nature of it that's worthwhile.

Fees argument doesn't really hold water because authorizations costs money too, even if subsequently voided.
