Accepting Bitcoin As Mode of Payment As A Business Owner

[DarkKnight68]

Bitcoin is currently known for being unstable and unpredictable. In the viewpoint of a Business Owner, do you think you should accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment for the services or goods that you provide? Why or Why not?

I would really appreciate it if you can give me an informative answer.

Thank you very much for your time.

I think you mean the bitcoin PRICE.  Bitcoin itself is very stable.

You will never get merit if you ask for it.  :/

The price is volatile, as we all know. It all depends on how you are going to use the payments that you'll receive, if you convert them to fiat every single time you receive BTC, you have nothing to worry about.

You can also choose to convert a percentage to fiat and pay your costs and hold a amount of BTC for the future.

It is just common sense...

You can accept Bitcoin by todays price and cash out instantly, in this case you wont lose anything.
Of course you should include all the fees in price of the goods and even couple of % more

No, I don't think bitcoin makes sense given its volatilty and slow transaction times. That means potentially tax rates could change from hour to hour, I might be making a large profit when the transfer starts, and then by the time the confirmation goes through, it is another red sunday and now I'm losing money ont he sale, but I can't reverse it becuase the blockchain is immutable. However I think an alternative crypto (Most likely on ETH or NEO) could be the stable crypto coin that is viable for this use case.

the key is to convert your btc after transaction was finished,if you do it, i think it is a good approach to have this payment method in your business.

I think if you're an online store it's a very good idea to accept Bitcoin. More potential buyers. If you're worried about the price then you can have one of those services that converts it into fiat automatically. Of course that sounds like an extra charge.

Most countries need to know the tax rate relative to their currency, so simple percentage calculations are not good enough. Now there are products to solve this for taking foreign fiat but crypto is too volatile for them to work. They could use a centralised processor after the transaction got confirmed but there is risk between prixing, sending and confirmation. How quick did btc drop in value recently? That's why a stable crypto is a pre requisite for mass adoptiom. You will get a few merchants before that but not many.
