OK, that's fine, but services like that could - and will - get much friendlier. I'm just rebutting the quote which is the blanket "no one transacts in cryptocurrency" which is certainly not true for me, even though I felt that way just 2 months ago. Now that I am an active miner of various currencies, I find myself using it quite frequently for random goods/services, even though the plan was really just to convert it quickly into USD fiat to continue reinvesting into the mining operations or to pocket it.

Fair point. I think "no one" here is a rhetorical exaggeration meaning "not very many," which might resolve our disagreement ...
