That's a lot of effort to increase your risk of not having a trusted middleman and pay more fees.

WIth regular systems you have a Bank, a payment processor and a sale processor which collectively provide the following experience:

1) transaction fees at the range of 0.1$ and up at %1-%3 that is incorporated in the price. 2) Visa/MasterCard etc, you don't have to choose your merchant depending on your coins you have, it works everywhere globally 3) Fraud protection is included, if something doesn't work out as expected or you simply made a mistake you get your money back easily 4) payment takes about 1 to 5 seconds and usually is hassle free, like tap a botton to start the payment tap once more to confirm the payment. 5) funds security is guaranteed through reversibility and active security, no risk of going broke when trying to listen to a conversation online.
