"your customer pays in bitcoin and you receive dollars in your bank account", will Stripe allow us to receive in bitcoins too? I personally would love to use that option. BitPagos does that already but their service is currently limited to Argentinian Hotels. Payza allows it as well, but Payza requires users to create an account and go through a painful process.

I would also like that. Right now it's too transparent, I always get USD and have no idea whether someone paid with Bitcoin. I'd like to just keep the Bitcoin.

(Christian from Stripe here.)

Our users tend to want unified behavior across payments of all different types. Of course, it's possible to filter by payment type in the API, dashboard, and data exports.

To the original question: drop us a line at [email protected] if you want to talk more about not converting the payments. It's definitely something we'll support if there's user interest, but it's not something we do today.

That would be handy as it seems like it would get around some of the pretty big list of businesses stripe can't get involved in due to restrictions from their banking partners.

BitPay allows it as does Coinbase

No, they don't. What undefined0 wants is bitcoins for all the payments he gets including credit cards.
