Nobody here seems to understand this for some reason. And it's so simple.
You sell your product for 50 dollars in bitcoins and have it exchanged to dollars within 15 minutes. What is the problem exactly? Yes bitcoin goes up and down but you have to ge extremely unlucky to lose a lot in those 15 mins. It might happen every once in a while but it will also go up every now and then.

You people make a problem of something that isn't a problem In the first place.
