    I wonder if this will just make them return bitcoin as an option to pay. It’s been 8 years since they dropped it and it has fewer large fluctuations now, it seems.

      and it has fewer large fluctuations now, it seems.

      106 to 76 to 120 in the last four months is not large fluctuation? 30 % variance is quite high to me.

        There are better cryptocurrency options to Bitcoin now, including stabletokens that are specifically designed for this purpose. Hopefully they go to one of those instead.

          I don’t understand why people first think of memecoins when there are a few stablecoins like USDT or USDC?

            Because the “have fun being poor (as I gamble my life savings on a website with pump and dump basically in the name)” crowd outnumbers and is much louder than the “I am using this decentralized currency because authoritarians will inevitably strangle anything with a single point of control” crowd.
