Stripe to Enable Millions of Merchants to Get Paid in Bitcoin

    No, I've read your post. My point wasn't about investing in BTC but rather the convenience of using crypto to buy mundane things like burgers. I just find it more expedient to just whip out my credit card than to go through all the fuss of setting up a crypto wallet (along with having to worry whether it might get hacked).

    You must be using a crappy CC. As already mentioned previously, you only need to pay once a month. Also if you sign up for instant notification, you will get a text message after every transaction. Now compare that to setting up a crypto wallet.

    Yes, but my OCD doesn't like the fact that there's a balance on the credit card, so I pay to make the balance $0 whenever I login to the online portal of the CC

    But I have recurring charges like USCCA or utilities that put a balance...

    I used to be deep in debt many credit cards maxed out so prefer not to owe anymore as much as I can help it

    OCD on the CC, see my reply to other poster

    Ok, we're clear now, you're criticizing a bonus feature that is available to people who invested in bitcoins (cryptos)

    Most bitcoin investors would not use the feature but the adoption from all these merchants makes it very convenient for the rest of us who might want to take advantage of it

    Dude you're either trolling or you have me confused with someone else

    I started buying BTC in 2013 at $100 and maxed out all my credit cards by 2014 when BTC was at the top $1200 and then crashed into a bear market for over 2 years

    Every time I had spare cash, I was buying 2014-2016 until the bull market of 2017 at around $1,100 last buy and enjoyed that bull market until it crashed

    I have buys of BTC from last year at $46K

    tl;dr

    ok, boomer, keep trolling

    oh dude, you have no idea what you're talking about...

    crypto wallet is installing a small app, no signups, no email, no phone number, no name, no ssn, no mailing address, no bday, zip, nada
