Some of the merchants you said have removed Bitcoin as their payment because it's too volatile for example Steam in 2017-2018.
But still it doesn't reflect the fact that Bitcoin is heavily and widely used in different aspects of our life in both physical and virtual world. People that says Bitcoin is dead, they don't know anything about Bitcoin and just manipulate everything to make it real but in the end Bitcoin is always become stronger and stronger for every dump and crash we have experienced.
I feel like removing it makes absolutely no sense to me at all due to volatility, it should have been kept BECAUSE of it, not removed. I know that they may imagine it is a bad thing, but if they kept in 17-18 when it went low, and made that "loss" that means we are talking about 10x or even higher rewards when it comes to 2021.
So, let's imagine they sold games at 15k bitcoin price, and it dropped to 3k, so they would keep the bitcoins and show a loss of 12k per bitcoin, but then when the time comes and they kept it until 21 and they sold at 60k? That would be x4 profit to say the least, they could have sold games at 3k bitcoin price and sold their bitcoins at 68k as well if they hold.
