Payment by Bitcoin

I don’t get why everyone is saying the vendor is dogey because they are wanting bitcoin payment it’s fairly common they even have Bitcoin atms 

I personally have used Bitcoin and never had any issues with any Bitcoin transaction or other cryptocurrencies so i have nothing against them and i agree something dodgy is going on. It's like if a website suddenly said that Paypal and Card payment wasn't available but bank transfer is that would also be a red flag because it's unlikely both types of payments would fail and not be able to be fixed in a reasonable amount of time if it was legitimate.

The dodgy bit is that Bitcoin is the only payment method offered. Made more dodgy by the apparent fact that previously available payment by card or by Paypal is 'not available at present'

And after watching ML last night and the woman asking if she should invest in BC given their value.
You could really see him wanting to say "Only a idiot" invests when the value is high.... But managed to keep it to "Investment Value can go up or down"

A retailer no longer taking card or Paypal screams that they have been blocked due to to many chargebacks.

Is the vendor PornHub by any chance?

BBC News: Credit card giants Visa, Mastercard and Discover have blocked all payments to Pornhub, after the adult site was accused of being "infested" with child abuse and rape-related videos.

Don't know why you'd find it funny, given the bit in bold mentioned........

Think i was mistaken at first and the vendor only had Paypal and Bitcoin options. Then for some reason they lost Paypal.

Anyway, i paid via bank transfer ( i know risky) as this option became available and it was a small amount<£10. Received the goods today! I don't want to say what the product is or who the vendor was, but its definately not !!!!!! and legal in UK.
