I hate to break this to you, but you might be a fan of Bitcoin
Lot's of things are bad for the world, but personally convenient for me, so I use them. I'm not saying it's one of my better qualities. :D
Are these vendors pricing their product/service in BTC or USD/local equivalent? How much extra are you paying over the traditional costs for the ease of a bitcoin payment? At some point the volatility and cost of obtaining bitcoin will outweigh the ease of use. I'm curious to know where that might be.
Everything is USD equivalent, and you have like 5 minutes to make the payment so that the price can't fall too far before they cash out on the other end. haha
But it works fine. I have like $40 in my Coinbase account. It bounces around, and I don't really keep track of it. It's not like I'm holding my savings in there. Just enough so I can make small payments when I want to.
Not easier than, say, Amazon, where I buy something every week at least, have my card information saved and make sure I keep it updated when it expires, etc. But, if it's a new place, where I just have to make a one-time payment, I'll choose BTC every time if it's offered.
