I go through many #guitar, #bass, and other strings, so I purchase in bulk and prefer suppliers that can fill less-than-mainstream orders.
Today one of them breathlessly announced they now accept Bitcoin. Paragraph upon paragraph about how "enabling" and efficient Bitcoin is as a purchasing tool, for the "unbanked" in developing economies, folks dodging authoritarian regimes, etc..
Not exactly their customers. And not one word about environmental cost, volatility, etc..
