BitCoin Question!

by MGarcon

Does anyone know of a service that allows the customer to purchase something in cash but converts their cash into bitcoin for the merchant? Ik they have it for the other way around, but I figured that'd be pretty nifty for a company wanting to go full throttle in bitcoin. Thanks in advance btw.

    I cant see a merchant wanting to do this since Bitcoin is more a commodity than a real currency and it is not very stable. It would be too risky. The merchant still has to cash in the Bitcoins to make their "real" money. I mean $20 bucks is $20 bucks and will hold its value for ever and a day. Bitcoins are $1k today and possibly 2 cents tomorrow!

    I'm an advocate for BitCoin and I have offer several Marketing Services and I was just wondering, because I think it'd be pretty neat. It fluctuates like every other currency, but I think it's here to stay for a various number of reasons so I'm investing it in it now.

    I have watched a couple of presentations on Bitcoin from guys selling server space "mining" for bitcoin, while I like the concept of a currency beyond government control I still don't really understand the concept .

    I don't know of such a service, but I'll appreciate if somebody around here can tell us. By the way MGarcon, are you planning to put up something like this? If so, I'm very interested. Keep me posted. Thanks.

      MGarcon, this sounds like very interesting service, but may I ask why do you want a payment going strait to bitcoin instead having your money in dollar or other currency and convert that on the end of the day/week to bitcoin?

      Keep me posted too, I may need this in the future. We never need until we need.

      Thanks
