&gt; It doesn&#x27;t matter. I can pay with bitcoin on Steam.<p>I can pay with Dogecoin with one additional step.<p>&gt;It makes bitcoin more fungible and thus viable as a currency.<p>Isn&#x27;t using Bitpay just a way of exchanging bitcoin for dollars, while kidding yourself that&#x27;s not what you&#x27;re doing?<p>&gt; And for what it&#x27;s worth, I find the bitcoin payment process immensely superior to credit cards: Just pull out the phone and scan the QR code on the screen. Screen updates to show payment was made.<p>All that&#x27;s left is to wait countless tedious hours for the funds to appear in the, for example, Namesilo account. It <i>is</i> easy (so is using a credit card), but it&#x27;s almost uselessly slow (unlike credit cards).<p>Edit: maybe this explains anti-Bitcoin sentiment. The fundamentalists can&#x27;t handle any factual comments that aren&#x27;t entirely about how game changing it is.
