From a raw economic standpoint CCP can make more money by accepting bitcoin payments and using a merchant service like Bitpay or Coinbase to turn it into USD.


Do those services let CCP charge in USD ?
As in CCP says we want x USD for a month of subscription, then lets those services worry about how many bitcoins to take from the customer.

Or do they only offer CCP the option of charging x bitcoins per month of subscription ?
Putting CCPs income at the mercy of the bitcoin exchange rate.

That's good, because you aren't debating things with avatars anymore than you are a video game avatar. You are debating the merits and demerits with grown adults represented by an avatar. So, continue.

Also, if CCP starts accepting bitcoin, what's next? Dogecoin? 10 kg of frozen salmon? a handy out back? It's not a road worth travelling!

Hopefully theyll start accepting monopoly money, I have tons of that from over the years of replacing board games.

It's truly more like debating with illiterate children based on the pathetic reading comprehension. Nearly every response is from an ignorant troll who fails to address any of the points provided.

Yes, the price can be set in USD and the payment processor handles the conversion.

With this method, Bitcoin is used in the exact same capacity as Paypal or a credit card, but CCP pays lower fees.

Why invest effort in setting up processes to accept Bitcoin when it could be gone in a month?

And where do you stop accepting cryptocurrency? Dogecoin?

Show me a trusted payment processor for Dogecoin and this would be a perfectly valid question. Right now the major processors are only handling bitcoin conversions. Most shops accepting Litecoin or Dogecoin are using a home-brew script that does not exchange to USD at the point of sale.

Oh look, a company with a market cap many times that of CCP accepting Bitcoin.

The US forces everyone to pay for petrol in dollars.
Thus the dollar is backed up by petrol, which is backed up by the US military and US nuclear warheads ready to obliterate anyone that doesn't bow down.

Recently Russia and China started trading their fuels in their national money and if the trend continues, the dollar will be worth nothing.

The only option now for the US to recover it's failing economy is to destroy russia and china.

Surprise surprise.


Not to mention we who have survived more than a year tend to have an over-developed sense of paranoia and the ability to sniff out scammers.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Mt. Gox, one of the first and largest Bitcoin banks/trading and exchange markets, just filed for bankruptcy a few days ago didn't they?

Yeah, sounds legit, let's get on that hype train.

All these Inet currencies sound to me like Slot Machine Billets, totally trustworthy Shocked.

Reminds me of the Gallente Talent rubbish and multiple ingame currencies just for the currencies sake - not for ours. Roll

$, € and ¥ is enough for world currency ah yeah, and ISK.

Curency speculation, also a nice thing to avoid.
