I wonder if the store will actually accept BTC or is he saying that he is now just accepting fiat from bitpay/coinbase.
He stated plainly that the only reason he is going to implement it is because his fans have "demanded" it. He said that it would be converted directly into fiat, and then fiat converted into other valuable commodities, or used to pay his team.

As long as his political and conspiracy beliefs aren't applied to Bitcoin. Image is big for Bitcoin right now, it needs to be seen for what it is, a revolutionary alternative.

Alex Jones is a walking false-flag operation.
He exposes real-life conspiracies but then drowns out the meaning of the message with his own bewildering flamboyance.
He is meant to dissuade the average person from believing in conspiracies by being so over-the-top nutty and unbelievable.
If anything, he's going to have a negative effect on bitcoin by attracting negative attention to it. Frankly he's turning me off from bitcoin right now.

Bitcoin is a CURRENCY. A good currency is one that is universally accepted. The more people willing to accept a currency the better. You seem to think Bitcoin is something other than a currency. What do you think Bitcoin is? He is already "linked" to the USD by accepting it via PayPal.

This is good news for people who'd be interested in using Bitcoin for shopping on his site. I was hoping this would happen for a while so yeah I'm looking forward to trying some products at the shop. Some people don't like the guy for whatever reason. He woke me up to a lot of important issues that don't get discussed elsewhere and he thinks for himself so I respect that.

Haha. I think he was worried he would be made an example of by the IRS or whatever which is actually something worth considering. The IRS was caught targeting certain people based on political preference so I can understand the hesitation.

No, I'm bashing him because I am 100% certain he is a detriment to society. He cares about nothing other than attracting attention to himself. He has a track record of being wrong far more often than he is right and he is a complete joke to anybody who can actually think for themselves. All he does is shepherd angry white american teenagers into getting angry about stuff that isn't true. He will only detract from the credibility of bitcoin by associating his disgusting monstrosity of a personality with it. Ok, please point out what he was wrong about then?? Anything will do. Must be factual based though, not something that "in your opinion" he was wrong about.

I dont think the big news is that his store is accepting BTC, and I agree his product claims seem to be a little fantastical. But he has a large listener base and a big platform to introduce people to BTC.

"When the Illuminati round us up into FEMA camps they can take our cash, they can even take our gold too, but they can't take our Bitcoin. For a limited time, you can buy Alexcoin minted right here at the Infowars studios. You'll get these easy-to-swallow microcapsules carrying your money safely secured with NSA-proof encryption. They are fabricated from non-detectable ceramics; the same type as the guns used by Obama's homosexual monkey soldiers. So fight back with Alexcoin and defeat the jackals of Jekyll Island."

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Alex Jones accepting Bitcoin?
The moment he starts applying his beliefs I will start bashing the guy, i honestly think he's full of crap and only draws attention to himself.
However, we'll still get the conspiracy nuts on our side, so the price will probably go up.

So I'm unable to watch the video right now, I'll get that confession out there.
Is Alex Jones supportive of Bitcoin? Or is he just announcing he'll accept it as payment?
Those are two different distinctions - Anyone who's in the business of making money should be accepting Bitcoin. It's so easy to accept payment and store it or convert as you deem necessary. If he's actually becoming a supporter of Bitcoin I'd be very interested to hear his comments and his take on it all.
if i remember correctly (read this yesterday), he has a coinbase account and is accepting BTC, but it's turning into fiat/cash right away. so you can send him money via bitcoin, but it turns up in cash. make of it what you will. Im going to start taking btc soon and Ill be doing the same. Exchanging the btc to dollars at the time of the transaction. My margins are so small that I cant take a chance of btc falling, since I have people to pay etc. so just because he exchanges it for fiat doesnt mean that hes not supporting bitcoin.
