"If the merchant wants the bitcoin and you pay in fiat_, that is you shifting the burden of fiat friction on to them. And paying your valued vendors in bitcoin is the opposite of mutually assured destruction–it's mutually assured survival." — Parker Lewis

Ultimately, the decision to accept Bitcoin as payment will be driven by the fact that those merchants understand the value of Bitcoin and why it is expected to store value into the future. What does that mean for how we think about finding our way to a Bitcoin future? Parker Lewis is back with another great piece, on the "Pay Me In Bitcoin Theory."
