So many companies accepting Bitcoin payments... but the BTC vs USD and BTC vs EUR exchange rates still going down the drain.

In its announcement the courier company said that it also provides delivery options at discounted prices within the United Kingdom. It said that with Bitcoin, P4D can keep prices even lower, as transaction fees are almost non-existent That's interesting but I've never heard of them. Hopefully more firms would follow suit.

That is actually the easiest way to get BTC accepted, as you don't need the large companies to change anything, just the resellers.

If this is a success maybe individual companies will offer it as an option. There doesn't seem to be much of a risk for merchants if they use a payment processor so I can't see why not if it's still cheaper than paying credit card fees. |
