Sure, it may not be common, but still, my point stands.

If you're buying some uncommon product that's only available with bitcoin, then paying a 30% transaction fee might be worth it versus not being able to purchase the product at all.

uh sure your point stands. pretty weak point? in obscure circumstances it might be worth performing the unappetizing act of paying bitcoin transaction fees to buy something.
