Ask HN: I mentioned I accept Bitcoin to a client, will they think I'm crazy?

I'm a remote worker, getting paid via a bank and Western Union is annoying (too much friction / red tape).

So I offered bitcoin as a form of payment because it's way more convenient.

Although I'm not sure if converting BTC for fiat would be as convenient.

Have you looked into something like Bitwage (https://www.bitwage.co/)?

Intuit allows BTC payment through their QuickBooks Payments system. So BTC is pretty mainstream. It's not any crazier than saying you accept PayPal or Venmo.

Thanks, I'm sure transfering Bitcoin is super secure.

What I'm not sure is how to exchange BTC for BRL (Brazilian reais), I'm from Brazil.
