This homepage is fucking terrible. HOW CAN I USE YOUR PRODUCT? What do I need? Credit card? Bitcoin address? Fiat bank account? PayPal?

Is it a joke? "We believe in intuitive design and excellent customer support"! A design so intuitive I have no fucking idea what the hell is going on. Oh but you have some big depth of field photos of hot 19 year old girls on a beach. Brilliant.

Just tell me in 1 sentence what you do. And it should be in the damn h1 tag. As it is it's not on the site at all.

But it just says at the bottom:

WHY BITCOIN? Bitcoin is a secure, global form of digital money. Brilliant minds developed and support it. People around the world use it. It provides a foundation for technologies that make money more powerful every day. The future of money begins with Bitcoin.

So that tells me precisely nothing.

Have you considered that engaging customers on an emotional level might be more effective than doing so in a utilitarian way?

I don't think one sentence is too much to ask, I hit the back button because I couldn't figure out what their product did within a short amount of time.

Marketers do it all the time, it's a key component of most advertising and marketing campaigns. Still though, this site doesn't even execute that well.
