Yes, everyone wants to accept bitcoin, but that's not news. The real question is why me as a user would want to pay with bitcoin? When I pay with credit card, I get 2% cash back. When I pay with bitcoin I have to pay Coinbase 1% fee and I get zero cash back. In addition, I need to make sure the price of bitcoin hasn't moved between the time I bought them on Coinbase till I make the purchase. It's just a complete no-brainer that I should use my credit card whenever I can, instead of bitcoin.

nd just to clarify, the businesses are not really accepting bitcoins, they are only accepting them temporarily so they can immediately convert 100% into dollars.
Not throwing your private key at everyone and having to deal with credit card fraud paper work every 6 months? that seems like a pretty good reason but maybe it's just me...
