Like it has been said a gazillion times already, you can get paid in USD if you want to (using Bitcoin behind the scenes). You get the same benefits as a merchant (no chargebacks, easy implementation, ridiculously small fees, countries: All), and without the annoying x10 yearly gains.
That's probably what you should have said in the first post (benefits as a merchant) and not implying he was dumb because it was missing those fabulous gains
Folks who bought in April will be early adopters and will see incredible profits too if they don't panic sell. It's a matter of logic. Like I said, it can go to 0 or +inf.
