The obvious question should have been, Why is the small businesses not betting on Bitcoin?
We have bitcoin payment processor companies like BitPay, who takes the risk out of a possible price crash, by converting directly to fiat. They can tap the added benefit from a new source of income. { If I had the
choice to buy a product or pay for a service from two companies and the one offered Bitcoin payment and the other not, guess what I would choose?} It gives them a added advantage over other businesses.
In the example they gave, the company saved $17 000 in fee's... What small business would turn their backs on that kind of savings? The small businesses need all the help they can get, to grow bigger and to out
perform their competitors.
