Comment on Shopify POS

Comments

Coming from a Bitcoin world, 2.1% + 30cents fees sounds ridiculous!

This is the price you pay for a currency with:

1) Stability 2) A massive user base 3) An infrastructure to support that massive user base

BitCoin has none of those things, so I'd expect a discount on it!

It's the price you pay for interchange fees. If only ACH had an instant verify and hold feature...

...it would immediately be a target of fraud and unhappy customers and soon have to charge a more substantial fee. Bitcoin early adopters are willing to put up with more insecurity and inconvenience than most customers.

Do you feel like that's a really useful comment and added anything to the conversation? Bitcoin is fascinating but represents what % of global transactions today?
