Underrated advantage of paying in bitcoin - your orders don’t get randomly cancelled due to overzealous anti fraud systems.
As the internet becomes more and more and more bot-ridden, everything ends up with aggressive bot detection that invariably blocks lots of people. This also applies to online shopping, where suddenly some merchants simply block a lot of their potential customers due to chargeback risk. If I pay in bitcoin, they can process the order and not spend money on broken anti-fraud systems.
I’m literally trying to order a damn pan and can’t 🤦♂️
