It kind of sucks that people have to use payment processors to spend Bitcoin when that's exactly what it wants to prevent, but I suppose it's a good short-term measure. I just hope these existing options don't dissuade merchants from accepting Bitcoin directly in the future.
i agree but that is only half of the process (accepting payment) otherwise the other half which is spending bitcoin doesn't change. so we can say it is 50% good since people would still be directly paying bitcoin with their own wallets without needing any third parties for sending or holding bitcoin. the merchant is only relying on a third party to accept the payment.
