Hey guys,

It's been dawning on me for some time that there is one thing that businesses must hate.. credit card fees. So with this in mind why is mainstream adoption taking so long! We're not saying invalidate fiat currency and only accept BTC or Alt-coin but businesses don't seem to want to touch it?

What do you guys think the real issue is? Education among consumers and businesses? Volatile BTC price?

The really issue is mentality. Most people are a bit like race horses that have visors in their eyes and only look forward... people only look for what they know and what's already established without even considering new things. So yes: education is really needed.

Volatility isn't much of an issue nowadays, especially with services like bitpay...

Since i have to first buy bitcoins and then pay higher fees than i do with my credit card it would seem it is more than just mentality...

You reminded me, the key to Mainstream Adoption is many more people getting paid in Bitcoin, then all the cost and hassle of buying "spendable" BTC is removed.
