Thoughts on Bitcoin as payment?

[killingstress]

....Cash App and Coinbase are probably the easiest methods of purchase....

On two different occasions I have had Coinbase delay the transfer of my bitcoins "for 72hours for your security".
[edit]

Yes, cause, Coinbase, after all, is like a " PayPal " they can frozen whatever and whenever they want .

Agreed. The second my btc transaction clears I transfer it away from coinbase and then it is totally under my control. I would never pay a newsagent direct from Coinbase since they look for those sorts of transactions. It always goes via a wallet, or two, first.

Never had the 72hr problem, but would be furious if I did. Anything could happen to the value in that time. Ok, I might forgive them if it increased so I made a profit, but it is pretty random. I made money on btc years ago because I was in from very early on - my first bitcoin cost $20. These days it is 50/50, sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down. But I never spend what I can't afford to lose.

As a form of payment I like it because there is no ambiguity about whether it went through.

Amazing you bought your first bitcoin for 20 bucks !!!!!!!! . My first one was at 1000 ( paid 50 times your price  ) . But, nowadays, to save, it could be really annoying, it can got to 10000, then to 3000, then to 7000 , and all this within a couple of days.
