This is a big news
hmmm.... Another story saying a business will accept Bitcoins when actually they are using Bitpay as a payment processor. If i pay US based Widget Inc £100 for good through Paypal, does that mean they are accepting payments in £, or just providing a method for my £ to be transfered to their $ account easily?
Maybe its just semantics, but in my view a business isn't accepting BTC unless they are taking a BTC transaction directly to their wallet.
So since i'm european zynga should accept my euro and not convert them in dollars? They should also accept pound sterling without converting them? Accepting the other hundreds currencies without converting them?
That's not what I said at all. I'm saying that when you pay your to a vendor through a payment provider, we don't say that they are accepting but that they are accepting payments through payment provider. The third party payment provider is accepting the currency.
And what would they be supposed to do with bitcoin? Pay taxes? Pay salaries?
Well yes, thats what alot are advocating. This is rather the point, until companies do take payments and make payments to suppliers and staff in
BTC, its not widely being recognised fully as a currency.
