I think it makes sense. I believe it is the future, and I like that it cannot bounce or be charged back

I think this argument is going to convince a lot of businesses to start accepting bitcoin.  I'm sure there are other types of businesses where bounced checks or credit card charge backs are an issue, I just don't know which ones they are.

Also, this drops another of the critisims against bitcoin: you can't use it to pay your rent. Well, in at least one place, now you can.

This effects nearly all small retailers reselling products with very small margins, especially when many already have to price some common goods at a loss just to generate the foot traffic to operate. It doesn't take a whole lot of bad checks at a mom & pop shop before they can no longer pay their bills, and this is compounded when it can be cost/time prohibitive to get a collection agency to assist in recovery because there isn't enough volume for them to take on the job for a fixed percentage fee.
