Further, when presented with more choices and particularly ones they are not familiar with such as Bitcoins... they are likely not being "scared"... they are likely leaving the join page to educating themselves on bitcoins and getting lost in an endless sea of information, much of it bad.

Making a sale online is about guiding an users thoughts to a conclusion. You have to answer the questions they are silently but actively asking themselves the moment they open the site in a form of a dialogue, where you answer those questions through the presentation, well laid out information, guiding them to a conclusion where at that point, all questions should have been well answered. Getting them to the join page and asking "Would you like to pay with Turnips" is just going to cause a shit ton of questions at the exact wrong moment and most are going to research what that is about. The user is then lost.
