| > Paying with bitcoin is so much easier, I don't need to copy stupid numbers from a card with my keyboard ever again. Things may have changed, and this is by no means a critique of Bitcoin as a protocol, but I've had the opposite experience so far. For online purchases at best, in order to make a purchase, I've needed to copy the address to send payments to, log into my wallet, paste the address, go back and copy a code from the website and paste that in the memo, and enter the correct payment amount. At worst, it's required multiple emails because things were broken. For online credit card purchases, it's been as easy as clicking a single button (Saved CC info), and having everything simply work. Entering the CC info is a little more work, but I wouldn't say its significantly easier than the Bitcoin experience. In person purchases are slightly easier, but it still requires some form of taking a picture of a QR code and waiting a minute or two for the payment to go through. With a credit card its as easy as making a swipe and sometimes signing. I have hope that one day paying with bitcoin will be easier, but so far I haven't experienced this. |
