    Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin are all rising currencies that can be used to buy an increasing amount of things, both physical and virtual. There are countless businesses that accept crytocurrency including CVS, Dell, Subway, and Target. Why does AtA not accept cryptocurrency when thousands of companies both large and small do so?

    AtA, you are missing out on a potential market here and you ignore crytocurrency like it doesn't exist. Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin make it easy for you to start accepting payments with their currency and frankly, it doesn't make sense that you do not.

    Please consider taking Bitcoin at least. You are missing out on potential sales.

  3. You could always just use the cryptocurrency to buy a gift card, then use the gift card and buy nobs...

  8. Mt. Gox wasn't a good time for the currency. That doesn't change the fact that businesses still take it.

  9. They're not losing potential sales. People do not ever solely and exclusively use bitcoins to purchase objects. Maybe they would if they were buying PCP from silk road, but there's no reason to incorporate shady currencies into the play.

    Anyway, I imagine that microtransactions (and currencies used) are governed solely by either Apple, or Google. They'd also have to initiate hard caps on how many can be used, like they do for existing currencies. Why not just exchange them into a real currency, and spend it that way?

  19. Why use currencies that arent tangible and have no physical backing to them? Yes, they are proven to work, but why not just buy gift cards with them? No new to use a currency with nobody to be held responsible for it.
