Will you take bitcoin for the purchase price?


I will if you will offer me a 60 day options contract to sell bitcoins at a fixed price after close! Otherwise, the volatility cold double or half the purchase price. :-)


You don't need a waiting period to accept bitcoin converted to USD.

Very disingenuous to post coinbase and say "no wait period" when you have to wait AT LEAST a week to get your bitcoins.


It's not disingenuous. You misunderstood. He was concerned about floating prices between BTC:USD. You don't have to implement your own waiting period to accept bitcoin into a static USD price with either service. If you do that, then there are the same short waiting periods that apply to every payment service that performs USD ACH/banking transactions before it gets to your bank account. The value doesn't change in the meanwhile.
