BitPay != Bitcoin, in the same way that every single bank in this list [1] != fiat currency.

This is so absurd it's basically trolling. I'd be willing to bet the author hasn't actually used bitcoin to buy something.

It actually works extremely well. Anything I can buy with btc instead of a credit card I do, it's so fluid and easy it's amazing.
