I'd probably do some BTC as well, but it's such a risky hassle to transfer between USD and BTC these days, and one has to hand over so much private info to flaky exchange services that it's just not worth it. I expect that going forward I'll do mainly large face-to-face transactions if/when I can set them up (and, of course, have a desire to do so.)
This is why I used fiat to buy mining gear, you get bitcoin without having to go thru an exchange. Plus its kinda fun
