If u use a service that converts your Crypto payments instantly to fiat, then it would be dumb to not take the current 5% extra. If u want hold crypto assets as buisness (ie you safe x btc and plan to convert and pay with them next year for your tax bills) then it's a bad idea.

So imo if you not playing on a stock market company level - it's riskfree extra money u miss. + maybe one argument more for costumers who may do an extra step cause they want pay with crypto (anonymity in porn is a factor for many), but just can do it indirectly.

For example I use expensive services to convert my crypto into prepaid credit cards, just cause I need buy a service/product that only accept credit cards. You only see, ah this guy paid with credit card, but in fact I would love to safe 10% extra costs if I could pay directly with crypto.

So I see 0 arguments why u should not implement a crypto payment gateway that auto convert the payment in fiat for u, with a smaller % than credit card fees.

Totally agree. Not only that, but in the future if/when BTC & Lightning is adopted, at least you'll be far ahead of everyone else on what to use, how to use it, and how to best optimize everything.

To just shrug it off because a couple ppl haven't succeeded with it or used it properly is a big nono. (remember, some still have no clue about L2's like Lightning & Liquid)

Look into it more, research more, there are great use cases for it and payments is one of them
