Bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency was not just created for investment purpose, it was actually created as a means of payment and to be honest, the adoption process isn't as fast as expected, but one thing that am very curious about and I have been thinking on how to go about it as a business man while accepting it as a means of payment is it volatility, though it might be advantageous for holders, but am not that certain for a business men.
In a situation whereby you accept it as a means of payment while selling off your goods, then when you are out of stock, so you decide to restock your shop, so by then price of Bitcoin has dip so much that you can't buy all the goods needed in your shop, due to the fact that your money has depreciate in value because of the dip, what is the way forward in such a situation if your emergency funds can't cover up for the shortage?
What we have seen companies do is to sell their bitcoin immediately as they receive it, so there is no large difference between the price at which they got that bitcoin and the price at which they sold it, this allows them to avoid the volatility as much as possible while they retain the fiat value of the bitcoin they got this way, which I think it is a fair compromise, as even if I believe in bitcoin and what it represents, that does not mean that businesses have to hold the same opinion I have.
