ya but why would they go through all the trouble of accepting bitcoins and converting them to usd when they could just accept usd?
Because the name of their game is
numbers.
And people who are into bitcoin will generally no longer donate in any other currency.
So if they want any money at all out of our little (at the moment) market segment, they have to deal with us on our terms.
Their game is numbers yes and in their eyes it will cost them more to implement a bitcoin payment system and to print the little box with a bitcoin option for every one of those flyers. Its easier to accept usd and that is the way it will stay for a long time to come.
But I see what your doing.. ya VIVA LA REVOLUTION etc etc etc
