Accepting BTC does not even require you to hold them. There are services that allow to accept BTC, but to get paid in Fiat. I see no harm in accepting BTC, but the times when people would spend BTC just for the sake of it is probably over.
It sparked a frenzy when llama socks were sold for BTC. I´d assume it was rather because people were excited to spend their coins, not because they were in dire need of llama socks ;)
Especially on Christmas, socks become more important - so why not...:-)
That's pretty interesting, I had no idea about that constellation. Making a note. Thx
