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.
