    I wouldn’t recommend using Bitcoin specifically for an e-commerce site like this, both because of its volatility and its high transaction fees. A stabletoken like DAI or USDT is more specifically designed for this use case.

      That’s just a different color of casino chip, in the end is still cryptocurrency, which as mentioned is not where we want to be

        No, you misunderstand the point of a stabletoken. They are designed to have a fixed value, usually tied to the US dollar. Is the US dollar a “casino chip”? That’s what these sites usually price things in to begin with.

          Yes, it is just a casino chip. The US dollar has been backed by jack shit for a long time.

            Then isn’t Gumroad already selling goods in exchange for “casino chips?” What alternative would you suggest?
