<p>I have a website which accepts bitcoins (and other non-stable coins). The amount of ways to accept coins is pretty big: from btcpay to some proprietary solutions. But I do care about volatility of bitcoin. I could easily accept bitcoins equal to the sum of, saying, 100$. But later on, those could turn to be 20% overnight. Is there any way to stabilize it? The only way I see is to convert btc's to stablecoins, but I believe there are simpler ways.</p>
