I'll have to look into bitpay. But why use bitcoin at all if I'm just going to instantly convert into USD? Might as well use paypal or a conventional payment processor right?
As far as the fact that it was stable up until 2 months ago. that's great, but it doesn't help me NOW when I'm considering whether to add an option to pay by bitcoin...
Don't forget! Paypal asks what? 10% fee? I believe bitpay is 1%! Also, no tax as far as I am aware! So, thats a huge plus! Only the decreased cost is totally worth it!
Payapl's fees for me average about 5-7% I believe? normal processors charge about 3-4%
But I can justify paying paypal fees since I make sales I otherwise wouldn't have. So even though i'm paying almost double, some people may not trust me with credit card numbers and I can still make more money by doing this.
With bitcoin though, I don't know if the demand is there...
