Well... I wouldn't, nor would 95% of the US. I want to be paid in stable currency backed by the full faith and force of the US Government.

Yeah I can't keep track about the weekly times the whole internet went down. Probably a couple of times a week

It's not the whole internet, just you or the company that holds your BTC wallet. Just the other day Facebook was down for hours. Imagine had that been Coinbase.
