If it's truly more useful for businesses, you might get a discount. Or maybe just because you like freedom.

As a good example of getting a discount, I've made several purchases through purse.io and saved plenty of money. A proper immediate and legal use-case, that people can exchange their otherwise illiquid Amazon credits for Bitcoin by taking a small loss.

Purse still offers 15%+ spreads on their homepage.

Do you know who is willing to sell a cash equivalent for a 15% discount to face value? A carder. The 15% is their payment for services rendered.
